I worked for an organization for seven years as a part-time employee. They changed the position to full time with a different title and new requirements & skills which I did not possess.
Was my quitting the job just cause because they changed my hours from part time to full time & also hired someone to replace me whom I spent time training??
Thank you for your help.
It’s hard to comment on a specific case without all the details. But, yes, in most cases, when the employer changes a worker’s hours drastically (such as from part-time to full time) and the employee quits, that constitutes quitting for “just cause.” In many cases the employee would be entitled to collect unemployment in that situation.
The fact that the employer hired a replacement is to be expected, and the issue of who trained the replacement is irrelevant.

If you are quitting a job and they require an exit interview, shouldn’t you pretty much say nothing?

John– That’s one view of the exit interview, but not the only one. Most HR pros advise employees to be tactful, but also truthful about the reasons they are leaving a job. If you are leaving a job for better benefits, a promotion or because the pay at the old job isn’t competitive, it’s very useful for the management team to know that. If they get feedback from several people, they may consider increasing the company’s pay scale or benefits, for example.
The one thing an employee should never do during an exit interview is burn his or her bridges. It’s always possible that you will want to work for that company again in the future. So even if you are quitting because your boss is a complete and total idiot, it’s better not to say so. Usually this can be phrased in a more tactful way.
