Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

My employer let me go/fired me with the premise that I did not fit in, no complaints on my performance, just not fitting with management. This is a case of employment at will (no contract) at the director level. The separation agreement and general release (severance package) has changed. The second and latest version includes a change not previously discussed. Employer changed Termination of Employment from "employment shall be demmed to have ceased" to "ceased due to Employee�s voluntary resignation"

I'm wondering, why was this change made without notice. I did not quit, was fired. What consequences could this change have?

IF you quit instead of fired, they can contest your entitlement to unemployment. I would not sign it. For more information on your employee legal rights check out www.takethisjobnshoveitblog.com or www.behrenlaw.com.
