Most employers understand that they cannot fire an employee for discriminatory or other improper reasons. Some may try to make an employee’s working conditions unbearable to force them to quit. They might, for example:
If your job conditions have become so unbearable that you need to resign to protect your health and well-being, prepare a timeline and log of all the adverse conditions and comments you have experienced. To support a Chicago wrongful termination report, that timeline must demonstrate a continuing pattern of harassment or intimidation rather than one or two isolated incidents. It should also show that your managers participated in or knew about the harassment but did nothing to stop it.
