In the United States you cannot collect unemployment if you quit without good cause, which varies by state. Most states are pretty strict, and generally "good cause" is limited to things like documented sexual harassment, domestic violence, illness, disability or caring for a family member.

I obviously wasn't privy to all the details, but some of the situations she described was that after last March they furloughed (laid off? not sure) a lot of people that they subsequently couldn't get to come back when demand improved.

Your original comment:

> .. as soon as the very generous unemployment came out she had dozens of people quitting. A lot of people prefer unemployment to menial jobs.

Did it not occur to you that your statements are entirely contradictory? What actually happened here? Did people quit to get that sweet, sweet government lucre or were they "furloughed" ("no, we're not firing you, we're just not going to pay you or give you work for an indefinite period") and then decide that, gee, maybe they didn't want to come back to work for a company that kicked them to the curb the second things got tough?

So they didn’t quit, they were furloughed or laid off? Why the hell does the employer expect those people to come back? They shouldn’t have stopped paying them in the first place.
