Within the past week, I saw a letter or article about this, which I can no longer locate. When a boss makes life for an employee so miserable that he quits, there is a legal term/concept for that - does anyone know what the term is and where it is described in more detail?
Thanks.
bermbits, I don't know about the term, but I do know this. It may be called forced retirement. I had the same situation when I taught; however, this link may be helpful.

I could very well have called the superintendent and gotten my last principal in one hell of a jam, but I chose not to do so.
"Hostile Work Environment" maybe?

"constructive termination"
Thanks, folks!
Constructive termination is the actual term I was seeking, but a hostile work environment may also fit into the bigger picture.
Again, thank you!
A "hostile work environment" might result in a "constructive termination." If this happens, the employee might be successful in obtaining unemployment benefits even if he quit his job. A constructive termination might also result under a set of circumstances not rising to the level of a hostile work environment.
You're welcome.
