Q: If I’m asked to break the rules by a superior and questioned whether or not I’m a team player, what can I do?
My boss is a district manager and his son is my superior, both have asked me to break rules, and I have, and corporate had specifically sent us rules to fallow. Because I don’t want to go over the head of 2 of my superiors and anger the people I have to work with daily, I quit to avoid the conflict. HR sent me a UC 1609 and I’m trying to understand if I have sufficient reason to file for UC. Do I have reason to file, or is this a form they sent me for other reasons?
A: you file with the unemployment office. You explain you left because you were asked to break company policies. That should constitute a "necessitous and compelling reason." you may be eligible for a visit with an attorney with your local legal aid/legal services office.
