Thank you for making the pedantic point I had to beat myself upside the head not to make.
Any employment lawyers around here?

Somebody had to do it, happy to take one for the team.
I'm a pedant so often, I have awards for it hanging in my office. I'm glad to see someone else take the mantle.
I could think of several others things you are...
This is your chance to go out in a blaze of glory, especially if you don't need the money or another reference. You don't have to kiss this guys ass anymore: tell him to kiss yours and to go f himself, in front of everybody! This is a matter of principle and standing up for yourself, which is worth many times more than 6-10K. Plus, you could roll the dice on unemployment and say that you were technically let go for no reason (disclaimer: not an employment attorney!): what have you got to lose? Maybe your employer won't challenge your claim.
I did this right before I went to law school. I was a bank office grunt, had just paid off my undergrad student loan debt, couldn't stand being there for another second, and my bosses were bums with less education that me. It took me out of the running for unemployment because I was deemed "insubordinate" or some nonsense. I'm still glad I did it, and you are in a much better financial position than I was.

The d-bag employer and every manager would be thrilled if people would quit instead of laid off or fired.
My only advice is you don't have to make their jobs easier for them. He will probably think the poster is a sucker if he can convince him to potentially harm himself so the d-bag can walk away free and clear. You don't have to be rude, just stand up for yourself. The request to kiss your ass will be implied and understood. Let him be the d-bag. The rest of the employees should take notice of how yhis went down and start sending out resumes.
Find something in the workplace that hurts you, water on the floor, errant staple flying through the air, make it bleed. (2nd option, say this all started because you turned down a sexual advance from this punk ass bitch boss). Make damn sure an ambulance ride is required. Milk this out like the freezer is on the fritz at Ben and Jerry's.
i love these you tube tutorials.
i believe here's the exit negotiation one you're looking for.

YES this. You are not owned by the moment, you OWN the moment.
Outside of that, the one evidence piece in this was that the boss doesn't want the truth to be in front of the board. Why is that? THAT right there is what we call leverage. Use that pry bar to your advantage. Own that prick. But I will go back to my passive ways now.
I think you boys need to get together for one your beer and moonshine-soaked cherry get-tohethers, and cuss the ex boss while eating cherries off each other.
I have challenged former employee's unemployment claims twice, both based on termination for cause (performance in sales) and won both times. Not implying that our friend has poor performance but being fired is not an automatic entitlement to unemployment.
Performance in Sales. Let me guess sold more than you will deliver Your operations team over promises, under delivers and is impossible for your customers to work with. Op's won't communicate with the customers and they never get held accountable while they whine like little biotches about being over worked.
Oh wait, I thought I was typing on my annual review feedback form. Disregard.

It was you!
If you send a resignation letter, expect it to be Exhibit A at your hearing before an ALJ.
Those hearings can go either way, in my experience. Normally the ALJs side with the employee, if I had to generalize.
But a resignation letter would be a big problem for your case, IMHO. The statute obviously excludes people fired for cause and those who resign.
It's a good thing that you're Not-Flot....Flot was a real d-bag
Oh it’s me.
The drunken tailgate football photos the old school posters here you would recap for us Purdue fans was gold. The bag of moonshine cherries and the visual of you feeding each other is still something I can’t get out of my head.
I have a couple interviews lined up next week so things are looking up. I got my final paycheck from that company today so I'm done with them. My government manager also thinks I got a raw deal and she offered to give me a reference which will help when I try to explain why I left after 3.5 months. So I'm glad I left on good terms. Basically I'm telling future employers I enjoyed working for my government manager but I didn't like the rinky dink 20 person company or the owner so there's no use staying with them any longer if I don't see them in my future long term. And my government manager will be able to tell them I did a good job while I was there. So hopefully this ends positively. Thanks for all the input.
