My ex-employer fired me and intentionally did not communicate my rights to me to avoid paying full salary during my notice period

Disclaimer: I take responsibility for not researching enough and not requiring everything in writing, so I am not saying I legally should be paid, but I just wanted to share this story where my ex-employer clearly did not act in good faith. So I was let go end of September. I live in an European country, where you have a 3 month notice period if employer terminates my employment. It is 1 month if an employee gives notice. I have lived in this country for two years, so I definitely am not familiar with all the details of the employment law. My employment contract follows a spesific law for white-collar workers, so the contract itself does not spesify all the terms but refers back to the law. Anyway, my managers (owners of the company) let me go over a video call, and said that if I wish to quit working…

I resigned from my job (finally) and left them with an 8 page resignation letter to read then walked out. It was glorious. Here’s some of the highlights (rephrased a bit) for your reading pleasure:

“For a group that claims it likes to hire to retire, I was offered no tangible example of this despite my willingness, but was subject to countless discussions about increasing my workload and expanding workplace responsibilities.” “If minorly insinuating at an outside office event that I had a one-night stand with my now husband is not workplace appropriate, neither is subjecting me to hours of gnarly details involving pregnancy and the illnesses of spawn.” “This is merely another soulless group that does not support diversity, inclusion, or human equality unless it is comfortable and profitable to them.” “A “thank you” in an email does not dismiss negligence, discriminatory behavior, or inappropriate workplace conduct. Similarly, a piece of paper saying “Employee of the Month” paired with a goody bag will never be equivalent to true gratitude, like providing better wages, benefits, and improved working conditions for employees.” “To advertise “competitive wages”…
