       Should I fight a forced resignation?
        
       I was offered a resignation today in my role with a State
       Government organization. Should I fight it?  The facts: 1. The role
       is 5 hours away. I was commuting on a weekly basis to the office,
       every Tue-Thur and did 10 hours a day on site. 2. I was remote on
       Mondays, and off on Fridays. 3. I was still in my state-mandated
       probation of 1 year. 4. There has not been a documented issue. IE:
       there was never anything that I signed that said I was deficient in
       an area of my job. 5. There was one undocumented issue about 7
       months in that I received a verbal counseling for. Again, nothing
       formal, and it was a personality conflict between myself and
       another manager/supervisor.  I have already been interviewing for
       other roles and had a final interview that I thought went well, but
       am waiting for the offer.  On one hand, it doesn't really seem
       worth it to "fight" it, but on the other hand, I haven't ever been
       formally counseld/written up.  Look forward to hearing everyone's
       thoughts.  Thank you.
