The opinion

*360 Dissenting Opinion by

Wood side, J.:

The claimant in this case voluntarily quit her employment. She testified that she “wasn’t discharged.” Her employer said, “If you don’t like it (the ‘it’ being that her employer was the boss) there is the door.” This was not a direction to the employe to leave her employment, and she knew that she was not discharged. She was unhappy that her employer reminded her that he was the boss, and she quit. She should be denied compensation.
