Your work situation was very negative. Sorry to hear that it was so bad you needed to quit.
Unfortunately, you do not qualify for unemployment. At this time they are only accepting individuals who have been terminated. While this is the case, it doesn’t hurt to file any ways. Just expect that you will get a denial letter. You really need to make a trip to your local department of labor or workforce agency. They have free workshops and job placement services. Do not hesitate to go, they will help you find something fast.
90% of jobs aren’t listed. Visiting companies in your field to fill out applications is recommended. Don’t forget to dress nice when you go and have a copy of your resume.
Despite the stress do not lose hope. When one door closes another window opens. I hope your situation is leading you to a job that is a healthier work environment.
I’m pretty sure if you quit, even if it IS a hostile work environment, you’ve still gotta wait for your unemployment. You can only get it immediately if you are laid off, otherwise you’re penalized for X amount of days because you quit/were fired.
As for the hostile work environment, do you have witnesses? Do you have proof? If you do, you could press charges for harassment and discrimination.
Usually no unemployment when you quit. Also you would have to document all events and then work with the company on resolving the issues. Proving the discrimination would be the problem when filing a lawsuit. Also them reducing your hours is their right. Then can schedule who they want and when they want so no case there.
I’m sorry but that doesn’t rise to the level of hostile work environment.
They sound like jerks, and I agree that you should quit, but you won’t be able to get unemployment unless your employer agrees to not fight it.
