    Are you a member of RMGO, a call to them may be helpful.

    No, I'm not a member but I've decided that I'm going to cut my losses and offer to quit without having a termination on my record and ask for my last paycheck. I've never really felt like it was going to be my career working at a grocery store.

    If you get fired and claim a grievance then a lot of times you can still get unemployment benefits...had that happen in my case. Not sure if you still can if quit. You may not want a termination but you may need the unemployment until a new job can be found, and you can explain to future employers that you had a private grievance. And it depends on who you work for, future employers may not even really look into it.

    I had a similar situation where I was told I couldn't come back to my job, but was allowed to "resign in lieu of termination" and they said they would just say I was laid off and not contest unemployment. I DID have to sign a bunch of bullshit papers saying I'd forever stay off the property in order to get paid severance. I don't know what they tell potential employers though, I'm going to call the automated employment line and find out.

    You should just reapply to the job and pretend you have never worked there and have no idea what they are talking about

    I don't think I will be needing unemployment benefits since I live with my parents and I should be getting my tax returns back soon. Plus I have an interview for a job setup and everyday I'm filling out applications and turning in my resume at other places.

    Plus, if anyone knows a of a job that needs someone with 3 years experience in the grocery industry and 1 year as being a certified barista let me know.

    That's bullshit, I wouldn't quit, If you and the union want to fight it, then make them fire you.

    They laid off most of their managers before my episode (including the one I worked for), and a few months after the lay offs, my manager got a call from the company saying that they found her resume on Monster and liked what they saw. She responded with a big fat, "YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT?!"

    Dummies.

    I was joking, I can't believe that something like that actually happened. Hilarious!!! Some people are so stupid!
