One question I'm surprised I've never gotten at AOL Jobs is one of the
most common questions I get in my law practice. That is, whether your
boss can force you to quit. Sometimes, a supervisor will try to make you
so miserable you'll quit, but some will come right out and say it's time to turn in your resignation.
What are your rights if your employer shoves a resignation letter in
front of you and tells you to sign? Should you resign when asked?
In my latest AOL Jobs article, I talk about the top 5 things to think about before you sign a forced resignation. You can read it here.
What You Need To Know Before You Scream “I Quit,” Get Fired, Or Decide to Sue the Bastards
Have a general question about employment law? Want to share a story? I welcome all comments and questions. I can't give legal advice here about specific situations but will be glad to discuss general issues and try to point you in the right direction. If you need legal advice, contact an employment lawyer in your state. Remember, anything you post here will be seen publicly, and I will comment publicly on it. It will not be confidential. Govern yourself accordingly. If you want to communicate with me confidentially as Donna Ballman, Florida lawyer rather than as Donna Ballman, blogger, my firm's website is here.

I appreciate your comments and general questions but this isn't the place to ask confidential legal questions. If you need an employee-side employment lawyer, try http://exchange.nela.org/findalawyer to locate one in your state.
