How did Reddit users react to this job-related post?
"Response: I will not give a resignation. I will also not agree to a change in shift without a negotiated compensation adjustment agreement. They are trying to trick you into resigning so you can't collect unemployment. Tell them forced resignations are illegal. Definitely give the Dept of Labor a call," posted a Reddit user.
"Print it. Once it goes to paper, they can't track what you do with it anymore," suggested another.

"Wife went through this. She forwarded emails to her personal email. I've also suggested printing as a PDF or just plain printing. Always have records. My wife got unemployment benefits when challenged because she had the details of conversations, but the employer didn't. Emotionally, having the facts in writing can keep you on track in those unemployment conversations by sticking to the facts and not generalisations," added a third.
"This happened to my wife last year (but she just wanted to move on). I wish she knew this. She was a pre-k assistant teacher, and her boss forced her to resign when she found out she was applying to other jobs," wrote a fourth.
