Under tn law about unemployment compensation,can i get benefits if i quit to get a better job?

Question

i was hired 7 weeks ago as a delivery driver (cdl license) by a local company but the only thing they are letting me do is work in the warehouse as a stocker/forklift operator. I applied for the job as a delivery driver only, not warehouse work, and that was exactly what i was hired as and that is the only position i applied for on my application. when i ask about them putting me in a delivery truck, they just keep giving me the run-around and say maybe in a month or two. I have done everything asked of me and i am sick of being in a job that i was not hired for. I have a perfect record and have not had any problems exept for this. I cannot and will not get a pay increase unless i move up into a delivery position that i was originally hired for to begin with. do i have grounds to quit under approved unemployment guidlines to find a better job? I have to go in very early and dont get off work until late so therfor i dont have time to apply elsewhere during normal buisness hours. I need to work but i dont know what i can do because my boss wont give me any real answers to my questions but only says "maybe this job isn't for everyone". Maybe not, but i wasnt hired for that position anyway... any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

once again people answer questions having no idea what the h**l they are talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY COLLECT!!!!!!!

if you were  hired as a driver and then you get there and they make you do something else  you dont have to accept it!!! (this happened to me .. i went thru this i  know what im talking about unlike these other handjobs sniffing around for 10 points).

if you quit and try to collect you will be denied and have an option to appeal. SO def. appeal!!!  you will have to go to a hearing and prove that you had a compelling reason to quit (which indeed you do ) AND prove that you exhausted all options in trying to resolve the issue . ( be sure you have talked with all management from supervisor thru general mananger even if it is no use .. you need to talk to all involved so you can prove you have tried everything to fix this. I see no reason why you shouldnt win this appeal!!!  Employers cant hire you to be a driver and then change their mind !!  GOOD LUCK .. i hope this helps!

Answer 2

No, if you quit, you aren't eligible for unemployment comp.
