As such, findings of fact of the referee, which are affirmed by the Board, as was done here, when supported by substantial evidence, are binding on this Court even though evidence was also introduced to the contrary. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review v. Jones, 23 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 451, 352 A.2d 574 (1976).
In the instant case, the referee found that it was Claimant’s personal dissatisfaction with the methods employed by her supervisor that caused her to leave her position. See Owen v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 26 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 278, 363 A.2d 852 (1976). The record reveals that the Board’s decision is supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, we affirm.
Order
And Now, this 3rd day of January, 1979, the order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Beview, dated May 5, 1977, denying benefits to Irene May, is affirmed.
