That is textbook constructive discharge, a type of wrongful termination.
It consists in creating a hostile environment so that you are forced to quit.
It is illegal. You have to document everything, create a solid case, then sue the company.
- DwnVoteHoneyPot 4y agoJust to put some details around this. You hire a lawyer, which will cost $2K-$3K. The lawyer helps you document everything. Then when you're ready to leave, the lawyer sends a demand letter to the company - demanding severance pay. The severance is something like 3-6 months of pay to bridge you to find another job. If you're making $100K and get 3 months severance, that's $25K - well worth it financially and for your mental health to find a new job. EDIT: 1) Don't even need to go to court. 2) It's a nice F-off to the boss because their boss and above will now know what's happening.

- xsmasher 4y ago> That said, in a large company you can cruise for years and that's what I did. It sounds like the poster stayed a long time and got paid for doing nothing. The details of the actual "came to a head / moved on" are missing. I don't think going after the company is a good idea based on the facts presented.
