    I recently found myself in a tough spot regarding my unemployment benefits here in Oregon. I was juggling two part-time jobs: one at Ross, which offered very few and inconsistent hours, and another job that provided me with a more stable schedule. Ross had initially promised to accommodate my availability based on my other job's schedule, and I even shared my availability with my manager, who acknowledged it. However, despite my efforts, I was still scheduled for shifts that clashed with my primary job. This led to a frustrating situation where I had to choose between the two. Ultimately, I decided to quit Ross because it was impossible to manage both jobs when they kept scheduling me at the same time. I reported my resignation on my weekly unemployment claim and filled out the necessary questionnaire. Right now, my claim status is “In Progress,” which means they are reviewing whether I had a valid reason to quit. I'm really anxious to know how this will turn out. I’m hoping to hear from others in Oregon who have faced a similar situation. Did the Oregon Employment Department consider quitting a low-hours job due to scheduling conflicts with a primary job as good cause? Or did it lead to disqualification until I met the requalification requirements? Any personal experiences would be appreciated as I wait for their decision.
