My boss promised me a $100 bonus and a turkey

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

for Christmas. So far I've seen neither. He told our newest worker that he would give him a raise as of the first of the year--and today told me not to give it to him when I do payroll. I'm nearly 56, with few chances at other jobs around here-but the new worker is 21, and I think he will quit. My question is, can you quit and get unemployment if you were promised a raise and then no given it? Boss didn't give a reason for not doing it except that he "thinks" the new worker will quit because he's moved to a nearby town well within commuting distance.
