A quick definition of wrongful constructive discharge:

Wrongful constructive discharge is when an employer makes working conditions so bad that an employee feels like they have no choice but to quit. This can happen if the employer treats the employee unfairly, like insulting them or demoting them for no good reason. The employer has to break the rules of the employment contract or the law to be guilty of wrongful constructive discharge.

A more thorough explanation:

Wrongful constructive discharge is a type of claim where an employee is forced to resign due to intolerable working conditions created by the employer. This is different from wrongful termination, where the employee is fired. The employer may create intolerable working conditions through insults, humiliation, demotion, or other forms of discrimination against the employee. In order for this claim to be valid, the employer must have violated the employment contract or public law by targeting the employee.

Example 1: An employee is constantly subjected to racial slurs and discriminatory behavior by their supervisor. Despite reporting the behavior to HR, nothing is done to address the issue. The employee feels they have no choice but to resign due to the intolerable working conditions.

Example 2: An employee is demoted and given a significant pay cut without any explanation or justification. The employer refuses to provide any reasoning for the demotion or pay cut, and the employee feels they have no choice but to resign due to the unfair treatment.

These examples illustrate how an employer can create intolerable working conditions that force an employee to resign. In both cases, the employer violated the employment contract or public law by engaging in discriminatory behavior or unjustified demotion and pay cut. This type of behavior is not only unethical but also illegal, and employees have the right to pursue legal action in such cases.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
