My younger brother has just quit his job (again!) but feels that he was forced into it by his manager. He'd only been there 2 months and the company approached him for the role. It was a sales position in something he's done before and been very successful at, in fact that was why he was approached by them.
However, he missed his target by <10% 2 months running and his boss's boss gave him an ultimatum of either quit or agree to be micromanaged. We persuaded him to give it another chance as he has a track record of not staying in any job too long and at 27yrs old it was looking really bad on his CV. He's had a week now of this micromanagement and is so stressed out he can't eat or sleep. He's been doing 70hr weeks for a 37hr salary and was actively encouraged not to take his lunchbreak!
Anyway, he's just quit with immediate effect and is looking to sign on. Is it the case that you can't claim if you resign? Is there anything he can do/say to override this?
Thanks in advance
