Long story short, I was promoted a couple of months ago and then several weeks later my company had layoffs.
My new position was impacted and I was told I could either leave that day or go back to my old role. I chose to stick with my old role for income security yet our workload increased nearly 3x to make up for the others that were let go.
They won’t increase pay despite giving us more work and I am considering leaving soon so I can spend my entire day interviewing but I’m worried I put myself in a position to not be eligible for unemployment benefits. Does anyone have any advice or feedback on what to do? Live in CT for context.
