I'm still waiting for update on what the VP's are driving - the ones who sent the email. Maybe they are driving a Lamborghini and/or a Bugatti. Inquiring mines want to know
Has anyone seen a follow up of this story? I've clicked and clucked around periodically and haven't found anything to date. Given that emails (if real) is from this week, and the company isn't named, the follow up will slow, if at all. But in this electronic age I fully expected a follow up within 24 hours no less

There is such a thing as constructive discharge. That is an employer has created such a hostile work environment for an employee, the employee resigns their employment. An employee does not need to be a member of a protective class to file a claim of constructive discharge though the reason for a hostile environment could be based on an employee's protective class (among other hostile workplace scenarios). In the example in the opening post, if the employee declines to purchase a new vehicle, and management continues with the conversations they allegedly have had with him, management and HR could be creating a hostile work environment for the employee. As there is no other information available other than what is in the linked article, it (in my mind) cannot be determined a hostile work environment has been created at this time. All depends on what happens next and even after that. Sure, constructive discharge might be actionable. But based on the one email, this employee is not even close yet. No but it does give the employee proof of intent or something like that if the employer follows up on this.
