[QUOTE="Bernice W, post: 3962, member: 407"] Exactly. I once left a position because they falsely represented what would be expected of me. After a few weeks of working myself do death trying to do what they’d told me I’d be doing as well as “a few extra things”, I left at lunch one day and went to the unemployment office. In Arkansas, at that time, the unemployment office was also the employment office. I went there to look for another job. This “few extra things” were actually enough to have kept another person busy for about 20 hours a week. This was the first and only time that I hadn’t given a two week notice that I was quitting. While I was at the unemployment office waiting to be seen, my boss walked out from the back and asked me why I was there. I told him that I’d quit. He asked why and I told him that what was expected of me was more than one person was capable of doing in a normal 40 hour week and they didn’t pay overtime. He said that I hadn’t thought it was a problem during my interview to which I told him that I was more than capable of doing everything he told me about during the interview. It was the “few extra things” that I wasn’t told about until after I’d stated that was the problem. I never did get my final paycheck from that jerk. Regardless, I made the decision to quit and certainly had no right to unemployment even though I’d definitely been taken advantage of by the company. [/QUOTE]
