You DO know you can appeal that verdict, don't you?

I did it one year a long time ago when I worked for a temp agency. I couldn't get to work because of a snowstorm, was snowed in for 3 days. They never called me back after I could get out even though I called them so I filed for unemployment.


I was denied because they said I quit. I appealed, got a lawyer, and went to arbitration.  Thank heavens I had photos of the snow. I also told the arbitrator that they had put me in a production job packing shirts in a factory, not an office position like they said it was going to be. The arbitrator asked me if I would've gone back to that job if I could have and of course I would have....there was no other place hiring for my type of work.


I won and got all my back unemployment (nice chunk of change), paid my lawyer 1/3, and just to be nasty, I only half-heartedly looked for work but took my good old time.

Definitely appeal it. UE is used to having employers
make up reasons for termination. The bottom line is if they cannot provide proof of your misconduct or that they informed you of said misconduct, you will probably win, especially if you saved any of your e-mails regarding your problems with demographics, etc.
While I would definitely appeal that decision
I would not be surprised if the decision is upheld. Unfortunately, if you were not meeting their production requirements or any other requirement to work, then it is misconduct in performance.

Wish you luck with your appeal, though.

Ditto, most definitely file an appeal (sm)
it isn't hard to do. Years and years ago I was let go from a hospital and it took 2 appeals and a hearing but I was glad I did it - not just the money but the principle of the thing. Good luck to you - I am so tired of businesses treating employees (not just in our field) like crap!
Appeal it & make them prove misconduct.
