If I proved hypocritical treatment at work, can I quit and claim unemployment?

What's going on is highly illogical, to say the very least.

3. Well, they tell us to show interest... then slam us in our reviews for showing interest...

That's one example.

Of many.

4. Yes...you can

Employees who voluntarily terminate their employment for �good cause� may also be entitled to benefits.

5. If hypocritical means discrimination

based on sex, gender, age, race, etc. then perhaps. But I'd call the unemployment office and ask first. Or for example if your shift hours have been drastically changed, yes you can claim UB.

But also know that your boss or who ever can treat you like absolute crap as long as they're not discriminating against you based on one of the protected civil rights.
