5 weeks ago I quit my job after a sales reorganization to take a new position. I interviewed with a headhunting firm and was told I would have a $500 weekly base salary. After I gave notice at my first job I was sent an offer letter to bring with me first day of new job. To my surprise it was a recoverable draw! I nearly fell over since it was too late and my old boss had replaced me. They had said salary not draw!
I started the new job and hoped it would go well. I only got 2 days of training and was put on the phone. The bosses keep getting upset that I am not making enough calls per day. I told them I need more training and asked if I could sit with someone experienced for a day or two to observe. I was told no, just increase my calls.
In the meantime they have me tape recording all of my calls even to CA which I think is illegal if both parties are not aware of it, but I am following their orders.
The language is also terrible in the office. People are yelling swears while I am on the phone, and one day an employee was on his computer looking at sexual enhancement products talking very loud about them to his neighbor.
I definetly made a mistake and am trying to find a new job. Based on these circumstances should I bother to apply for unemployment once I quit?
They also recently fired someone and he told me they lied to him about the salary/ draw thing too.
