Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

Necessitous and compelling reason?
I had worked for a company for 12 years. I was an accountant and paid on a commission basis. I was required to work at the receptionist desk whenever she was going to be late or had to leave early, etc. From April thru October of this year my one co-worker (who had to split the time with me) had worked 200 hours at the receptionist desk. This directly takes away from my billable time and affects my salary. I have been asking for years and years (10 to be exact) for another receptionist/office worker to help out. Not only have I brought up the subject but other accountants have brought it up as well. At a meeting with my boss in early November I once again requested that another receptionist be hired. I was met with a resounding NO - we won't hire anyone but we'll pay you an hourly rate for that time that you spend out there. I then began to speak about other issues that were bothering me, such as my boss texting me on my day off for information then getting angry when it was not supplied to him that very day. He then got very angry and began to berate me and tell me that I was ''severely derelict in my duties'' as I should have known he needed that info beforehand. There's more but I'm out of room - do I have a case?

No. You don't. I would recommend you look for other work.
