Upon graduating, Tim was all set to start his career with a good company. He got selected as a sales officer in a consumer durable company. He got a chance to put all his theoretical knowledge into practice and got to learn a lot from the job. With hard work and determination he got promoted into a managerial post and was given additional responsibilities. Even though the work environment was healthy, he wanted to grow his financial structure at a rapid pace. He was soon approached by a multinational group that offered him double his present salary package and promised additional perks. Only once Tim started work at this new workplace, did he realize that the work environment was taking a toll on his health. The hours that he was asked to put in at work always exceeded by a wide margin. He had to make frequent visits to the company&rsquos power plant which affected his health. This was not a part of his job upon hire. He was soon detected medically unfit and had to quit. Tim gets unemployment benefits quit job and stays at home. This is because he quit his job for a good cause and this entitled him to get benefits for the same.
