    Not enough people know about constructive dismissal.

    My mother was approaching retirement at her old career, and right before COVID they dramatically changed her job and work hours to try and get her to just retire, and she did.

    I convinced her to file for unemployment anyway due to constructive dismissal, and she won her case. She got full unemployment benefits PLUS the COVID bump for a long time while getting to retire early.
