> I just recently quit at Dillard's and been working there for 8 yrs.
and with the atmosphere of tension, stressed and frustration for not
reaching your goal and everyday of working in this company causes your
health situation to get worst. I had a pre-existent condition of a
respiratory problem and for so many years i worked there it's gotten so
bad.I have to go to the doctor frequently and my doctor told me that i
have to quit Dillard's as my helath situation is thru "JOB RELATED
STRESS" and so i quit and applied for unemployment benefits and the EDD
approved it yet a month after i received checks, the Dillard's appealed
and i was so unhappy of this as i have given my loyalty, honesty and
dedicated to this company and the money that they have to pay for me is
afterall is my money that i paid for SUI thus, i have to go to the court
hearing for the Notice of Determination and let the Judge decides, if i
have to continue this kind of Benefits. It is so unjust for this company
that after all those years of hardwork and efficiency, they would just
discontinue my Unemplyment Benefits..
