I am a lawyer in CT and practicein this area of the law. You do not qualify for unemployment benefits unless you are terminated or leave involuntarily. Here, you decided to give notice of your intent to leave becasue of not getting certain promotions that you expected to get. I do not think that you are going to qualify here even if the employer told you that you didnt have to serve out the remaining period of your 2 weeks notice. Thus, you can try, but I do not think that you will be able to get unemployment benefits.
