Given that my hours at PetSmart have been drastically reduced to just one day every other week after two years of employment, am I eligible for unemployment benefits, and could you offer any advice or support as I navigate this situation? I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to reach out for some guidance regarding my current work situation.
