After teaching full-time at a private school in Texas for eight years, I finally decided to pursue my master's degree. I asked my boss if I could switch to part-timeβhe said yes, and even set up a classroom-sharing plan with another teacher, Jamie. But just weeks later, Jamie quit, and suddenly my boss told me, "We don't need part-timers anymore." My options? Go back to full-time or leave. So, I finished out the summer, sent my goodbye email, and now I'm wondering: did I just quit, or was I pushed out? Can I even get unemployment? If you've ever been promised flexibility only to get the boot, you know how this feels. Any advice for navigating this limbo? π€ workplace #careertransition #unemployment #workplace #careertransition #unemployment #JobCareer
