I said I don’t know if that is possible and he asked me to think it over. Is it required for me to come in and finish a months work of task? Would I get in any legal trouble?

At this point I don’t want to show up anymore. I know this thread recommended that I should just quit and leave and I should have listened. I was trying to remain professional but it backfired.
