My wife has been with her company for 5 years now. With a perfect report each year.
My wife had mentioned to her boss she was thinking of looking for employment with another business on June 10, 2004. (No active search at the moment)
Today, June 28, 2004, she was given a letter saying, ".....We regret to accept your resignation effective June 30, 2004."
My wife never gave a letter of resignation, she has had no bad reports/writeups etc...
What right does her employer have to give her such a letter?
Bump for update:
This is in New York.
YES, WRONG of her to tell her boss. I told that to her that the second she told me about it.
But she said her boss took it well and even asked what they could do to keep her. My wife said, she feels like she needs a change of pace. (Even I have said this to people, EVER HEAR OF A BAD DAY?)
UPDATED
Well, I got an update and apparently they are not letting her go, they are offering her a floating full time position as a sub, a "demotion" from a full time teacher. Pay and benefits are the same, nothing changes.
My wife is making sure they rewrite a letter because there was no resignation and if she is let go and needs unemployment then she will not get it. In fact, there should be no letter at all. A change of title does not mean a resignation of the previous position.
UPDATED AGAIN
Letter sent to the Director
In response to the enclosed letter I received from you June 28, 2004, and further clarification from NAME, it is in both our best interests to have a new and revised letter submitted. The enclosed letter stated; ?accept your voluntary resignation?, which was unnecessary since I never submitted a written nor a verbal resignation. After speaking with SAME NAME AS ABOVE, I now understand that I will be getting a lateral position change, essentially only changing my title here at COMPANY. I would expect this to be documented for both our official needs. I would appreciate an official retraction of the letter stating my resignation as it may be misinterpreted.
I never felt it necessary however after this misunderstanding I want to reassure you of my loyalty to COMPANY and my devotion to the PRODUCT. If a time comes where I will need to leave the company I assure you I will give ample notice to prepare for a replacement.
Your timely attention to this matter is greatly appreciated
Sincerely,
PERSON
