i quit 1 job because the shops equipment was failing daily and that they wont be fixed because they are going to build a new shop and spending money on the old shop was a waste. the broken equipment made it impossible to safely and legally do my job within normal work hours. after leaving that job to take a another job i was fired. he said i was fired for poor performance and attitude. it happened after i complained that the boss teamed me up with a 60 year old man with a bad leg , eyes, lunges and heart. the man was the boss’s wife’s uncle. my unemployment was denied because i was not at 2nd job long enough or make enough money and i voluntarily quit my 1st job.

Hi Mike,

What are you planning on appealing?

Even if you are found to have been discharged without good cause from the latest job .. you will still need to be found to have quit the previous one with good cause to remove that disqualification.

I can only speculate about what actually happened from the way you told the story and neither separation sounds to good for you.

But don’t let me stop you .. because you know a lot more than me.
