Matter of Black

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department

168 A.D.2d 728 (N.Y. App. Div. 1990)

Opinion

December 6, 1990

Appeal from the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board.


Contrary to claimant's contention on appeal, the evidence in the record, including claimant's resignation letter and her claim for unemployment insurance benefits, supports the conclusion that claimant was rehired after being fired twice and then left voluntarily. However, dissatisfaction with one's boss, not agreeing with him or not getting along with him do not constitute good cause for leaving one's employment (see, Matter of Grossman [Levine], 51 A.D.2d 853; Matter of Snapperman [Levine], 50 A.D.2d 1029). Claimant admitted that her reason for resigning was because she did not like her executive director's management style and she disagreed with his firing of her supervisor. Under the circumstances, the determination disqualifying claimant from receiving benefits is supported by substantial evidence and must be upheld (see, Matter of Serrano [Levine], 52 A.D.2d 1022). Finally, claimant was given ample opportunity to question all witnesses.

Decision affirmed, without costs. Mahoney, P.J., Weiss, Mikoll, Yesawich, Jr., and Harvey, JJ., concur.
