You can have a lasting impact without doing something that makes you also look like you don't give a shit about your employees. If I see my employer purposefully try to make me feel for a moment that he was demanding I resign, my opinion of him would immediately shift to "he's either immoral or has a more concrete psychological issue." I think most people probably would feel that way, but there are social politics at play in this case causing people to be unwilling or unable to make an honest attempt to put themselves in the situation.
