They tried to force me to sign a resignation letter to which I declined. They are now telling me to no-call/no-show three shifts in a row but that is considered voluntary job abandonment. To be eligible for unemployment I have to be unemployed through no fault of my own so I refused to do that. I know my employer is an at-will employer and they can terminate me for no reason. I have contacted HR and they even told me that this is wrong and will be escalating it to Employee relations. I have a phone call with the captain of my district tomorrow what do i do? The effective date for my availability change is supposed to be December 27th .
