  Don’t quit during a recession Look for another job and once you have one then quit. Sorry about your effed up situation.

  Quitting won’t work. If you were slandered in a public act of humiliation, sue the bastard. Make up the loss in pay by socking the new boss ’s wallet for defamation of character.

  Chances are, if you quit, you won’t be able to collect unemployment compensation. Your best bet is to buy a few cheap tape recorders and plant them nearby so that they can’t be discovered. Also, be sure to document each incident with what was said, date and time. If possible, check with witnesses to see if they will verify incidents. Detail why you think you were demoted. Finally, contact an employment discrimination attorney in the yellow pages. Sounds to me you have a good discrimination suit. Also sounds like your boss is trying to get you to quit so that you won’t have a case. Stick it out and fight it. Good luck.

  file a grievance with EEOC, you can not be fired while they investigate…get as much evidence as possible…go to your Dr. tell him you are stressed because of this treatment…get a statement stating that….then go on medical leave…you may be qualified for stress related disability.

  i think you need to file a complaint with the EEOC and if you do decide that you must quit keep in mind that to qualify for unemployment you have to be terminated thur no fault of you own and but if you quit it has to be for a good cause now after you file your complaint with the EEOC they will give you a right to sue in federal court make them bastards pay for the pain they have caused you

  Yeah buddy. It happened to me. What I did was find another job before leaving them. We both got our full separation pays and finished all our works there. Now, the work atmosphere is so much better working with a new company. Good luck buddy God bless. God is making a signal for you to leave a better job awaits you.

  Slander or Harassment are difficult to prove. You must establish a pattern of mis-treatment backed by witnesses, and documented proof. In your case the court or unemployment office will ask why have you been able to work there for over 10yrs without any complaints, and now all of a sudden you are being harassed , what has changed at your work place?
  Be prepared to answer this type of questions. Simply saying you are being harassed is not sufficient ground for winning your case.

  No. Slander is the spoken form of defamation. He must have made a representation of FACT about you that was false, knowing it to be false or with reckless disregard for the truth, to a third person, and you must have suffered actual damages as a result. What many people think is slander is actually not actionable because many statements are made as OPINION rather than FACT. You don’t give precise words so it is impossible to tell. Second, the person to whom the false statement was made must reasonably believe the statement to be true. Are you suggesting your wife believed the boss or president over you? Third, unless your wife gave you the demotion, I don’t see the link between the statements and any actual damages. You don’t get unemployment when you quit.

  If you are being slapped on the behind, then you need to file formal charges of sex harassment and file a law suit and that is the means of income you can receive. You will have to get a formal charge either way. You might get unemployment, but not by simply saying that happened. You have to make a big case out of it, so the employer can’t claim you have no right to leave for a reason of no fault of your own. Being slapped on the behind is sex assault and battery. Touch is assault and the slap is battery. In some cases you may qualify for immediate relief. The employer/ Co. is suppose to start paying you. If you have witnesses they pay or wait until you take ownership of the company. As soon as you file charges, your complaint will be sent to the employer and that will be one of the issues of the charges. Your boss could be fired, so you can’t just quit and go to unemployment. If you do it that way, it will look as if you are in consent and then no longer a harassment issue. So no unemployment payment for people who like to be slapped on the behind, because they don’t even care enough to report it as the violation.
