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.

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.
