Long story short, I got the heads up that I won't get the A2A promote. When I roll off the platform at the end of June, would I be eligible for unemployment benefits? Given its like $2.5k a month in NYC, this would defintely factor into my budgeting decisions, but unclear if I'll be eligible. Anyone with experience here would be appreciated.

Why wouldn’t you? You’d be unemployed right?
Not sure if it's classified as a termination or layoff or what. I think there are rules governing who can receive the benfits, like you don't qualify if terminated for cause
If you become unemployed / if you were let go, you should be able to qualify for unemployment benefits for a period of time or until you find a new job.
you'll definitely qualify for unemployment benefits, the only reason you wouldn't would be if you were fired "for cause" which in this case it doesn't sound like you were, even then most companies aren't petty enough to block ex-employees from receiving unemployment benefits
Apply to the unemployment benefits, it could take a few months to find a new job in this climate.
Isn’t it more than that in NYC
I thought max $500 / week in NY. Anyone have experience otherwise?
Rent I meant sorry
Why didn't you get it? I thought everyone did... What type of bank were you at?
It isn't 2021 anymore
All the tellers in my class got promoted to associate tellers.
I now get to close AS WELL AS open accounts!
