    I’m not a lawyer, but that sounds like classic “constructive dismissal”, which qualifies for unemployment in most states. Of course, you’d have to fight for it, which as a college student, would’ve probably been too expensive and time-consuming. Sorry about the shit boss.

      (Replying from alt instance cause main one is down)

      I’m in the UK and it was a dodgy cash in hand job at a chippy with no actual contract, so I didn’t really have any way to fight against it if I had wanted to keep the job anyway.

      Even if I had a way to fight against it I was technically too young for the job and my car didn’t have the right insurance to do it because of that so I didn’t want any extra attention. I got through the college year and got decent grades though so it all worked out alright in the end.

      Pretty sure they’d get rejected for unemployment (at least in my state) as you’re required to have open availability in order to get it.
