- Did you receive any severance?
- Or were you asked to resign without severance?
- Were you able to qualify for unemployment (especially if you lived a long distance away, e.g., 100+ miles)?

RTO or take severance.
@hn This post is false in a lot of cases. Get a consultation with an employment lawyer for your specific situation; they're usually free.
Might as well make Nike fight it. You certainly won’t get unemployment if you resign.
If you get fired for cause (not following RTO policy) then you cannot collect unemployment.
Then why would anyone resign? Make them fire you and at least take the unemployment!
@ej they would very likely lose if they contested it and thus wouldn't bother
If you were terminated, I wonder if you would at least be eligible for unemployment? Would Nike fight this?
@az by telling them the other option is termination with cause.
If you plan to do this, get a lawyer, being ordered to relocate over 50 miles and being told it's "for cause" is illegal
How do you force somebody to resign?
To follow up, he was forced to resign or be terminated with cause.
This happened to my teammate a year ago and he was forced to resign.
