    Default Should I Resign or Let Them Fire Me?

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Colorado.

    I have been working for my current employer for 15 months now. It is a company that is undergoing significant changes and restructuring. Our reputation in our marketplace is horrible. I knoew this when taking the position but decided it would be a good challenge.

    One of the subjects that has been discussed several times is regarding sales quotas. For several months (at least 9) there were no clear goals or expectations. We were told on several ocassions that we were being judged on our overall performance and the activities we complete - not our numbers because they have always been wither vague or non-existant.

    Yesterday - I was told by my supervisor that she was going to have to terminate me based on the fact that I haven't "met goal". There are three other people who do the same job as I do and one of them was terminated. They kept the newest employee who by the way has less credentialing than I do and has equal or less production than I do. (But it's likely that his salary is less than mine)

    I expressed to my supervisor that I don't want to have a termination on my record - and she said she would give me the chance to resign if I'd like.

    I have no plans to collect unemployment and I've already had interviews for another job. I have thought about filing a wrongful termination complaint with the labor borard. They said I can still apply even if I am forced to resign.

    What would you recommend? Quit or get fired?

    Thank you -

    You have no wrongful termination case. Whether you resign or are terminated is a choice you need to make not us.

    A wrongful termination means that a specific law exists prohibiting the employer from firing you for the reason they did. What law do you think is being violated?

    I agree with Panther; that's a decision only you can make.
