Under the advise of my Dr., I have quit my job. My boss uses bullying, harassment, and much other inappropriate behavior to manage employees. Do I have any rights?

It may be too late, but if you can document the medical basis, you may be able to at least qualify for Unemployment benefits.

Alternative, you may seek re=employment with a change of conditions.

Call or email for further assistance.

Re: I quit, do I I have any rights?

Unfortunately, all employment starts out as employment "at will." That means you may be fired for any reason or no reason or you may quit for any reason or no reason. The only thing that changes the "at will" status is contract and statutes. If you do not have a contract for employment, you have no contractual protections. The statutes or the law, only protects against employment decisions that are discriminatory in nature based on a suspect class like race, creed, color, religion, sex,age etc.. In other words, it would seem that you have no real options here. You are not guaranteed a good employer or manager.

I am sorry to hear about your troubles
