They won

First lemme preface it that i don't live in USA, so not “check for unemployment” or other USian advice please. So… Basically, I was fired. Not only fired, but they made me sign a resignation letter. I was working in federal government, and because of the current wave of price raises, I was unable to continue working in the city where my work was. I told my boss I wanted to voluntarily resign to move with my mother and look for a job in my city, but he told me to go full remote, and he would change my contract to reflect this. So i did, went to my homeplace and started renting leagues cheaper than in the big city.

So… Basically, I was fired. Not only fired, but they made me sign a resignation letter.

I was working in federal government, and because of the current wave of price raises, I was unable to continue working in the city where my work was. I told my boss I wanted to voluntarily resign to move with my mother and look for a job in my city, but he told me to go full remote, and he would change my contract to reflect this. So i did, went to my homeplace and started renting leagues cheaper than in the big city.

Turns out he didn't change the contract, and HR found out I wasn't attending office, tho I never stopped working. HR calls me to fire me, in 15 days. Today was that day. HR sends me the resignation letter.

I can't not accept that, I'm cornered up. A legal process will take years to complete with the ineptitude of the worker's protections in my country, meanwhile HR promised in written that I will get compensation as if I was being fired… But I'm still unsure they will keep that promise.

Thankfully I got a new job since last monday, but still feel powerless and I'm angry as fuck for the trust lost in this, the humilliation of “resigning” when i was fully confortable in my job, and the fact that my mental health is wavering so much, some days I consider unliving cause i can't with this pressure anymore
