Thread regarding Bank of New York Mellon Corp. layoffs

This company fired me than when I applied for unemployment they said I quit

Weird situation, I was on vacation for a couple weeks than I heard they fired one of my team members for not meeting the 60% in office workdays. I knew I was next as when I looked at my teams calender the same HR lady who fired my team member requested a meeting with me the moment I returned "please work remote that day" (showed up on my calender)

I return from my 2.5 week hiatus using my vacation hours. HR lady calls me in a teams call, asks why have I have not been showing up to the office. I tried to defend myself and she said "you will be fired, log off immediately."

Than when I applied for unemployment I was on the call with an agent saying BNY claimed I quit. (after a 6 week unemployment investigation) I was shocked to hear that. But technically since they claimed I quit after a long vacation and not really communicating with my boss when I would return, its not the same as being fired for misconduct. So I got approved for unemployment.

Next time choose to speak with the lunch lady over the HR lady. Much nicer.

Learn the difference between than and then before you send out any resumes.
It's pretty hard to get denied UE in most states despite what BK says about RTO compliance.
