We've all heard the phrase "right-to-work" state. It's often spouted in defense of a employer's action to terminate someone for what seems like NO reason at all. An employee loses their job, they think it's over, and there is doom and gloom to follow. But is there? With a previous employer, I often sat in on telephonic hearings with the Texas Workforce Commission to determine if someone was entitled to benefits or was, frankly, wrongfully terminated. On the question of benefits, it didn't matter what the reason someone was let go--they paid into the state fund out of each check, we could claim they were the devil incarnate, and the person was entitled to unemployment. The hearings were often more about whether the person left on his own accord--resigned, retired, job abandonment. In your opinion, should any of it matter? If you leave a job, or your are asked to leave, should you get unemployment benefits
