What is the name of your state? Florida

I was recently fired from a call center and awarded benefits.

1. I accepted a part time job at a similar call center. The employer explained to me that I would be making close to $11 per hour, same as my last job. After working a couple days I find out that I would be making considerably less. Something along the lines of $7 per hour.

2. I have allergies and athsma. On Sundays the boss is not at the work site, so everyone smokes inside the call center.

These 2 things, a long with the fact that I no longer had reliable transportation caused me to quit. Do you think that you would have quit?

I only worked there a total of 3 days due to this

I probably would have lasted longer, but hey...if you had to quit, you had to.

Start looking for another job, someplace you will be better off at.

You can quit such a job and collect benefits. You need to take certain steps prior to leaving, specifically, you would have to provide your employer with an opportunity to correct the situation.

Good Luck

I would not have quit, you could have brought the situation with the smoking to your employer and in reference to the pay too. If someone offers you the same pay that you had before, you should get it in writing, because the employer can do what he wants, I know it's unfair, but unfortunately this is what they do.
Don't give up, you will find another job and if you find yourself in the same situation, speak up don't let it go, you have a right to defend yourself, just be professional about it.

Wish you the best!

I would quit, the pay is way lower then expected.
