Hi! I was hired as a team lead/supervisor for a contact center/BPO last May 2016. I was regularized in November 2016. Last February 15 my manager told me in a one on one meeting that I did not have the necessary skill sets for the role. I asked if I could have time to learn or improve on said issue, but was told that it was not possible. I asked him if he was wanting me to resign and he replied in the affirmative. When I was hired I made sure that they knew my 10 years experience as a sup was in customer service. And that I didn't have any experience running a team in the service desk (tech support). I was given 2 days induction regarding the company then was endorsed to operations right after. I did not receive any coaching, setting of expectations, etc. I haven't seen my score card or any performance assessments in all these months. In short I feel that I was not given any due process nor any other option but to resign. I submitted a notarized resignation on Feb 21, 2017. Notarized as I had also executed an affidavit attesting to the circumstances of my resignation. Do I have basis to file a complaint and seek remedy according to our labor laws? I really feel that I was not accorded any due process. I would appreciate any advice from a legal standpoint. Thank you in advance.

1. due process only applies to termination/disciplinary actions. neither of which was done to you.
2. forced resignation/construtive dismissal only applies when the company institute policies or working conditions that are too difficult that you are forced to resign eg removing aircon unit in a windowless room.
3. the manager merely asked you to resign, you should've just refused
4. i dont see any course of action here

Thank you for the prompt response. All the while I was under the impression that it was against labor laws to recommend that an employee resign or force them to. I must have misunderstood this all along. Thank you again.

1. yung to recommend is not illegal. To ask you to resign is also not illegal. To force you is illegal but you have a different interpretation of "force". If they said "hindi ka makakalabas ng opisina until pirmahan mo yan" that is considered forced resignation

OK that's clear. What he actually said was to the effect that I can either resign or do it the hard way where he will see to it that I get terminated. I guess I will think over my options regarding this for now. I really appreciate the response. Thank you.
