Practice question: Resignation vs. Constructive Dismissal

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A letter contains polite thanks, but credible evidence also establishes that management procured the signature through coercive conditions making continued work objectively unbearable. The employer argues that Ferrer makes gratitude an irrebuttable waiver of constructive-dismissal claims. Is that a sound use of the decision?
  1. Yes, a polite sentence defeats all evidence forever
  2. No; the letter and all proved surrounding circumstances must be assessed together
  3. Yes, gratitude automatically transfers all employment rights
  4. Yes, a signature prevents every inquiry into consent
  5. Yes, coercive conditions are irrelevant if a letter exists
