Hi Ilene,

I’d ask you what your question is, but I already know that this is not a a “general question about unemployment”.

I can assume though .. that you want to quit .. and therefore, I know that it would be you that needs to prove the “good cause” .. since I can’t read the emails or ask you more questions about the working environment .. I can’t help you at all.
