  • Others have touched on this, but isn’t this a good thing? You should NEVER quit without recourse - it makes you ineligible for unemployment. Scenarios:

    • you want to leave, you tell your manager, they resolve the issue, you stay and are happier

    • you want to leave, you tell your manager, they don’t resolve the issue, you engage in getting fired, you get fired, you file for unemployment

    • you want to leave, you tell your manager, they don’t resolve the issue, you engage in getting fired, you don’t get fired, you collect wages for little/no work while job hunting

    • you want to leave, you don’t tell your manager, you engage in getting fired, you get fired, you file for unemployment

    • you want to leave, you don’t tell your manager, you engage in getting fired, you don’t get fired, you collect wages for little/no work while job hunting

    • you quit, you get nothing

    It’s like a weird game theory problem, but IMO quitting is the WORST choice. Sure, the employer could challenge the unemployment claim, but many don’t, and those who do don’t typically win.
