You should also give a thought to how "resigned" vs "fired" will look to a perspective employer. Do you need to use this job on your resume? Will it leave an awkward hole if you don't? You can negotiate things like a promise of a positive reference if you resign (just be sure to test that with a dummy call).


I'm not sure you will get very far with a lawsuit. Most companies are "employment at will" which means they can fire you without cause. Typically you only have a case if you can show you were fired to prevent you from getting a promised benefit (like a pension) or because of a protected classification (ie fired due to your race).
