IN THE MATTER OF THE CLAIM OF JOHN GEGA, Appellant. COMMISSIONER OF LABOR, Respondent.

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Claimant resigned from his employment as a superintendent due to conflicts that arose after the employer hired a new property manager. Prior to this time, claimant had been performing some of the duties of property manager as well as his regular work duties. The hiring of the new manager meant, inter alia, that claimant no longer performed managerial duties and, in addition, he was required to report directly to the property manager. After expressing dissatisfaction with the new arrangement, claimant quit his job. Substantial evidence supports the ruling of the Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board that claimant left his employment under disqualifying circumstances. Notably, dissatisfaction with one's workload or duties has been found not to constitute good cause for leaving one's employment (see, Matter of Harris [CDS Mfg. — Sweeney], 243 A.D.2d 804). Although claimant indicated that he would have been happy to return to his former job if the management in place was no longer there, it is well settled that an inability to get along with supervisors or co-workers does not generally constitute good cause to leave employment (see, Matter of Saglimbeni [Commissioner of Labor], 264 A.D.2d 933).

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Carpinello, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that the decision is affirmed, without costs.
