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.
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.
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.
