I can't speak for California law, but where I live (which has a very generous wrongful termination regime), an employee resignation ultimatum (i.e., "if you don't agree to X, I will resign") is one of the classic employee blunders. It's not even really "hardball" for an employer to run with it, since being able to characterize it as a resignation rather than a termination is one of the few things that can dramatically affect what they may have to pay out.
- lacker 6y agoYeah, California is pretty similar. A related point that comes up a lot is that if you give notice that you are quitting effective on date X, your employer is entitled to say, ok we accept your resignation but it’s effective immediately, or some earlier date. Sometimes an employee will have a quitting plan that is like, they will do x y z while still at the company and then quit after a drawn out period of several months, and the manager would prefer to just move on.
