Attention all Hiring Managers or Team Leaders

[BrutuStrength]

After today, I need to do some serious research into california labor laws, unemployment denial rules and suing a company for said denial. I may not have a job next week because I can't fulfill the expanded duties of my job as currently outlined by my new owner. Cripes today sucked. He really is nuts. Throwing things across his office, kicking things, screaming at us all to leave him alone...wowzer. Bipolar much?

Back when I was in management, I heard of an employee that had actually quit her job and was still able to win unemployment due to her job role having changed too much from the position that she had accepted. Based on your description of recent events, you should have an easy time receiving unemployment should it get to that point.

I have been doing some research to this effect as I seem to recall something like this as well. If I can confirm it, I will be so out of here.

If the job has changed to such a degree that you are no longer qualified to do it then your previous position has been, effectively, eliminated by your employer. If you have a legally defensible argument in that regard you would be eligible for unemployment benefits should you have no choice but to resign. The concept of "constructive discharge" could apply to your case but talk to an attorney before quitting.

Constructive discharge #9 - Employment Law 101

I worked for a real asshole like that in the 90s. Fortunately, I was able to find a new position in less than 6 months. The dumb shit tried to offer me more money to stay, which only confirmed that he was lowballing me in the first place. What a dick.

Oh, so that was you.
