Listen man. There is a certain power in walking away. Don't give that away. Think about your power for a minute. How much power would it be to hand in a written letter CLEARLY outlining the issue described using MINIMAL WORDS? Somebody would have to look at the situation in detail and if you really deserved to be commended for your honesty then it would come out. The tables would be completely turned. 1. You would have officially quit. HUGE WIN 2. You would have an opportunity for others to see your side of the story FIRST 3. You may have some chance of coming out on top and even staying with the firm if your letter was written with "much regret" that you absolutely have no other choice because of the hostility and actions of retaliation etc. 4. You can take that letter to the next employer and say I stand behind my actions in a tough situation. Stay with your power man. You don't want to risk carry around the victim chip forever more you will either be telling this story as a sore loser or as a man with a power and sense of right that can never be taken from you by a "superior". Bottom line it's victim vs empowerment perspective. In your question post (no offense) you sound like a victim of some one else's actions against you. Really it's just one perspective. Assume the self empowered perspective and they will have no choice but to recognize. Tell the story of how you don't take BS you throw it in the trash. Fuk you, fuk you, your cool, fu*k you im out. [EDIT] P.S. If you really want to step it up and become movie ending cool. You get that letter done up and you walk in with it. You show the envelope to the bad boss and you say in a private way to only him "I am handing this in to watch you suck tomorrows dick".

"1. You would have officially quit. HUGE WIN" Until you have to collect unemployment, or sue for wrongful termination.

  Do you want to suck on your mammys tits too? First of all if this is a case where you can't get another job and need unemployment then it's a different story - for example probably need to be fired. Second if your going to sue them then it's again more hardcore. Otherwise man up and quit. People are so afraid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ8oIsVDoa0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ8oIsVDoa0

  If you're fired for cause, you probably can't collect anyway.

    Possibly. It all depends a great deal on jurisdiction and circumstance. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/unemployment-benefits-when-fired-32449.html http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/unemployment-benefits... "In many states, an employee's misconduct has to be pretty bad to render the employee ineligible for unemployment benefits. An employee who is fired for being a poor fit for the job, lacking the necessary skills for the position, or failing to perform up to expected standards will likely be able to collect unemployment." To be fair, quitting in this instance may fall under "constructive discharge", but generally speaking for this kind of thing you have significantly better odds when the other party needs to demonstrate that you're an exception than when you do. I know a place I worked once caught someone with their hand in the till, and wound up paying unemployment because proving it was going to be a bigger hassle. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/unemployment-benefits-when-quit-32450.html http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/unemployment-benefits...

      If fired, I would be eligible for unemployment benefits essentially no matter what. The employer would have to prove gross or serious misconduct for benefits to be denied, and that would only result in a delay of eligibility, not an outright disqualification. Also, the onus is on the company to demonstrate the misconduct, and the price of an attorney to make that case would far exceed the cost, and creates risk of litigation. So I mostly likely won't be begging on the street, which is a tremendous relief.
