Ferguson v. Arizona Department of Economic Security

The tribunals findings of fact show that on April 28, 1977 appellant told his supervisor that he was looking for other employment. On May 5, 1977, his employer told him that a replacement had been found and his employment would be terminated on May 11. Instead of working until the termination date, on May 6 appellant submitted his resignation. He did not continue working until the discharge date because to do so would have been "demeaning" and "untenable". In his testimony before the tribunal appellant stated that it would have been embarrassing for him to continue working after he had been fired.
