Summary:
Claimant unwilling to follow the training course offered by the firm and announced his intention to leave (with a 2-week notice) at a meeting with his supervisor in June or July. The firm offered him to stay until he found a job or until his services were no longer required (end of August). Having taken the initiative to leave, claimant considered to have left his job voluntarily without just cause. Decision upheld by the Umpire who found that claimant knew that his job was only going to last until August, he had not taken steps to have done a regular job search and he did not have any discussions with his superiors about extending his time.
