Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment personal reasons desire for change
Summary:

The claimant, feeling that she was going to be laid off (which turned out to be true), quit her job believing that she had assurance that she would be hired by a different employer. However, she was not hired only because the position was later withdrawn. With regret, this Board finds as fact that she quit her existing employment without “just cause,” as understood in the jurisprudence.” The appeal by the claimant is dismissed by the Umpire.
