What is the name of your state? New York
I recently resigned from my company position as a trader because on one particular occasion, my immediate manager came up very close to my person and said: "you are a ****ing pussy". He said this after I had written an email which demonstrated his incompetence in his position. My resignation was accepted and I am no longer with the company. The problem is that there was a clause in my contract which kept me binded to the firm for x years. The terms went something like this: "if you resign without cause, the x year commitment will still hold and you must pay y % of all your future earnings to the company for as long as the x year contract is in effect. If you resign with cause, then you are released from the x year commitment with the company"
Is it reasonable for me to state my reasons for leaving the company is for harassment? I left the firm because of that incident which I consider to have been harassment, abuse, misconduct, or whatever term you wish to use to describe it. Therefore, I resigned with cause. This distinction between resigning with cause and resigning without cause is necessary as I signed a contract with them binding me to them for some number of years. The contract states that the contract will be binding if i resign without cause and the contract will be null if i resign with cause. What do you think? I believe I left the company with cause but they may decide to dispute that and say I left without cause. Someone please help me.
Also, will I be able to collect unemployment benefits?
Thanks
