Unemployment Insurance 

Dear Sir or Madame, 

	I have recieved the form letter informing me that my application for benefit started on 10/13/19 has been denied per N.C. Gen. Stat. Â§ 96-14.6(a) and (b).  

This correspondence shall be my official appeal of the determination.  

1.  Neither willful or wanton disregard of the employer's interest as is found in 	deliberate violations or disregard of standards of behavior due to my 	accidental damage of company property, 

2.  Nor conduct evincing carelessness or negligence of such degree or
	recurrence as to manifest an intentional and substantial disregard of the 	employer's interests or of the employee's duties and obligations to the 	employer occured.

Explanation:

Although property of my former employer was damaged due to my actions. these actions were an accident arising from the the non compliance, lack of work ethic and lackadaisical non-professional attitide of two co-workers which forced myself to perform duties in order to rectify and keep the interest of the employer, where the aforementioned co-workers had failed to perform their own duties.  

Had the co-workers performed thier duties as per company policy, I myself would not have been forced into the position of performing said duties for these parties.  

Basically, if the two guys had cleaned the shop as they should have done, I would not have had to do it for them, hence the situation would never have occured at all.  

As a professional and educated mechanic I take offense that working dilligently and attemting to cover the responsibilities of others as well as go above and beyond my expected responsibilities has been used to deem my actions as negligent.  

Furthermore:

Both verbalised and non verbalised grievances stood between myself and the management of BOYD OLDS-PONTIAC-BUICK-GMC.  

Being that the same policies used to accuse me of negligence were contorted and inferred differntly for different persons.  For example:

1.  the negligent destruction of customer property due to another employees negligent work causing well above the damage of my accident.

2.  as well as a two faced vacation policy favoring some employees over others whereby I voiced a question regarding denial of a vacation request for a certain amount of time which was refused, while others were allowed a longer interval not allowed by company policy, whereby I was not given exlanation. 

It is my belief that the board of review should reconsider the determination.  No statement, or my point of view of the incident leading to my firing has been requested nor reviewed, so I ask how a fair determination can be made without it?

Sincerely, 

Mr.  Michael Thomas Harbuck
