<prompt> Human: My girlfriend works in a field where job titles mean a lot. She took on her current job in large part because it came with a director title and was a step up from her previous job in terms of prestige and income. She has been there for two and a half years and has always received good reviews for her performance and company-wide appreciation for the work she produces.Recently her boss has mentioned changing her job title - basically removing the director part of it - as he claims he never needed her for the supervisory side of the job anyway and that the title was figurative his exact words rather than something to be taken literally. Sounds like a bait and switch if you ask me, but whatever... We saw this potential demotion coming a while ago, actually, because he has never been able to delegate properly and controls the department with an iron fist, and in the past he has slapped my girlfriend on the wrist several times for taking initiative on projects and assignments, and lately she has been forced to run every tiny detail by him first even though shes a director. Hes basically a control freak and this change of title would be yet another way for him to control the way things work at the company, at least in his department.My girlfriend has stuck with the job because she likes the work and wants to keep beefing up her resume, but she has always promised to herself that she would quit if her job title was ever reduced or removed from her. She refuses to take a demotion at this company if thats what it comes to, and I dont blame her, but were both wondering if shell be able to apply for and collect unemployment if she quits on her own volition rather than accept a demotion that would hurt her future career prospects - like I said before, title means a lot in her industry.Any suggestions or anecdotal experience on acquiring unemployment benefits for our situation would be appreciated. Thanks!  <response>: Your girlfriend needs to find another job and then quit.
