Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

Policies not followed

I worked for a bank as a supervisor. I saw disciplinary policies not being followed with my fellow supervisors, until I did something wrong, then the policy was followed to a ''T,'' meaning I was the only one getting in trouble for something other supervisors had done as well. Because of this I was prohibited from interviewing for a promotion I have strong reasons to believe I had a good chance of getting. I was the only male in my position out of about 35-40 branches in our region. I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but I'm suspicious. I fought the corrective action they leveled on me and eventually go it reduced, but the promotion had already been given to someone else. About a month later another issue arose, and I was fired. Part of me wonders if me fighting the earlier action caused them to just get rid of me. But if they had followed the policy with everyone, there never would have been any issues. When the second action was coming, I had a feeling I was about to be fired, so I turned in my resignation with a two weeks notice. They called me later that day and fired me. I'm telling prospective employors I resigned, I think I lost a job because they're telling people I was fired. Legally was I fired or resigned?

Re: Policies not followed

You may have a case against your former employer but only if we can prove that you were discriminated against because of your gender. The most compelling fact is the absence of males in your business. Please feel free to call or e-mail me directly. I will provide you with a short questionnaire to determine how much you are entitled to recover.
