Today marks the start of my first week of unemployment after quitting. My boss and I were into each other, but he refused to pursue anything with me while I worked there because it would’ve been unethical. So I quit.
Worth it.

got PIPed the instant I returned from work after a week of bereavement for my grandpa’s death, then the week after that we had to euthanize our dear sweet dog of 12.5 years so I took another week off to mourn him.
Literally, 8am Monday when I get back, meeting with my manager PIPing me.
Except I didn’t quit. I made an effort with the PIP until my manager nitpicked over the dumbest shit. Silently decided it wasn’t worth trying to salvage, so I made them fire me.
I still got unemployment and two weeks severance on top of that. If I had accepted the voluntary resignation alternative to the PIP Id be worse off
The term is “constructive dismissal.” Get them to put it in writing and either a) they’ll cave, or b) you got a case that most employment lawyers would take on contingency.
Most likely is they’d cave.
It was in writing. I rejected it and went for the PIP instead. And I came out slightly ahead than if I had chosen the resignation, regardless of the specific term.
I would not have been likely to come out ahead going after them for constructive dismissal.
What do you think I would have gained from lawyering up? (if I had the spoons to do that anyways, which I didn’t being in intense grief)
