Opinion
93778
Decided and Entered: October 30, 2003.

Brownie Vega, Woodhaven, appellant pro se.
Eliot Spitzer, Attorney General, New York City (Marjorie S. Leff of counsel), for respondent.
Before: Cardona, P.J., Crew III, Peters, Spain and, Carpinello, JJ.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Substantial evidence supports the decision of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board finding that claimant voluntarily left her employment as an office manager at a hospital in the security department without good cause. Claimant testified that she left her employment because she believed that there was no room for job advancement with a new director coming into the department. It is well settled that dissatisfaction with promotional opportunities does not constitute good cause for resigning (see Matter of Ruballo [Commissioner of Labor], 286 A.D.2d 817; Matter of Pinedo [Commissioner of Labor], 270 A.D.2d 556). Although claimant now asserts that she was forced to resign rather than be fired, claimant failed to make such claim at the hearing.
Cardona, P.J., Crew III, Peters, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
