Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

hiring and firing
Recently, two months ago, the mail order company that I have been employed by as a customer service rep for 4 yrs was sold and the new owners have put us on production to sell certain programs (people call us to place orders/order catalogs, etc). If we do not sell a certain number of these programs we can be fired. They give us 3 warnings, I recently received my final warning even though on my other evaluations I have consistently always gotton 100's. I am not going to quit. I guess my question is can they keep me from getting unemployment compensation?

Thank you.

Re: hiring and firing

No, as long as you don't resign voluntarily or commit some kind of egregious act of commission or omission while you're still on the job.
