Antiwork

My best friend and I have been discussing renting a 2 bed 2 bath and becoming roommates. I am a gay man. My best friend is a straight woman. She teaches orchestra at a private Christian school. I think you can see where this is going. There is a clause in her hiring contract that prohibits her from “cohabitating with a man” unless married. (This is next to the “you can't be a gay” clause, but I'll rant about that some other time) It doesn't matter that I'm gay (in fact that might make it worse), that we have separate bedrooms and bathrooms, or that she has a boyfriend.

I know it sounds like a stupid question but should I voluntarily put in my notice so I can work my piece and leave or would it benefit me more to get fired so I could claim some sort of financial compensation if…

Sorry if this is a bit all over the place. I tried to keep as short as possible but I'm angry. i work in a university in the uk and the over the last 2 years a bonus scheme has been reintroduced. during the first lockdown last year my team were off site (still wfh) for a couple of months. after that we were on site the whole time, through lockdowns and everything else. we were needed, not essential! or key! cant say that. we might be worth something then. i asked for our team to be put forward for the scheme multiple times and i was told by the manager that he is putting the document together. only to find out he was told by the head of service to not submit the claim as we basically did nothing beyond what we was meant to for our job. skip…

Company is trying to make us sign a handbook that requires us to give 4 weeks notice before leaving the company (based in the US). Can they legally reinforce it if I sign the handbook?
