2 days ago my boss told me that, due to a "transition," I'm being dismissed so they can replace me with someone who has more fiancial skills to better assist the firm's bookkeeper. But I suspect my being dismissed w/ no warning is partially personally motivated b/c the bookkeeper and I don't get along. When I was told I no longer have my job w/the company, my boss told me I could stay 6-8 weeks, to find a job before I leave, but I suspect they are trying to use me to keep the office running while they find my replacement. I wrote an official letter to the partners that day telling them that, since I was dismissed that day, I was making that day my last day. Can employers legally obligate dismissed employees to stay after they tell them they're being let go, and if the employee decides to leave immediately, can the employer deny them unemployment benefits? I'm afraid they'll claim I walked out b/c I refused the offer to stay for 6-8 wks, and that they'll deny my unemployment benefits.
