This is a pet peeve of mine, because there are many cases where you can claim unemployment if you quit. The myth exists specifically to deter people from filing, even when they’re fully allowed to do so. It’s basically like one of those “Keep Back 200 Feet; Not Responsible For Broken Windshields” signs that gravel trucks all have posted on their tails. They are 100% liable for it, but the sign deters people from trying to claim.
This would actually be a shining example of a case where you can likely claim unemployment. The employer specifically stated that they intended to fire the archivist if they didn’t quit. We (and the archivist’s labor attorney) have proof of this, based on the employer’s own statements. The employer may initially try to contest the claim, but an appeal will allow you to present the evidence (the employer’s claims) and argue that you should be able to claim even though you “quit”.
