This goes along with the appeals topic below. But I didn't want to hijack a thread in order to ask about my case.
I have been receiving unemployment benefits since the beginning of July. My employer has appealed the decision. They say that I was fired because of unsatisfactory performance. I have received the evidence that they are going to present in the case and it is the write ups that I got while I was employed.
I understand the burden of proof is on them. And that is why they are presenting the write ups. But no two write ups are for the same thing. And the final reason that I was let go is because there was a task that was assigned to 2 people before me and they didn't get it done. And one person after me and they didn't get it done, but I was the only one to get fired.
My position is that once the next person assumed responsibility for the task...I was done with it. I was not even actually assigned to it. My boss just said that since it was there I should have done it. But by the time I discovered that it wasn't done, it was time for me to clock out for the day. I even told the next manager that I would stay and complete it, but he said not to worry about it and he would get it done before close. Shouldn't the responsibility fall to the last person assigned to complete it? Am I missing something?
Why do they think they have a case?
