Question
If my husbands bosses are asking him for a resignation letter....does that mean he hasn't been officially fired? And if that's true are they trying to get him to resign so they don't have to pay unemployment benefits to him? I think they are trying to screw us one last time. Everything they say is vague...We think you should look for a new job. We want to make a change this week. You need to turn in your resignation....... I'm still scared but now I'm getting angry.

He's not resigning, is he? It sounds like they don't want to pay him unemployment....I would be mad too...Can he call "up line" in the company and see what is really going on? Tell CCB NOT to sign anything! It sounds like they are trying to push him out....If he helped the company to make more profits, then why would they want to "replace" him with someone else? It doesn't make sense.... It sounds to me like his immediate boss doesn't like him....I would go up a level or two and ask what is going on......Now, I'm mad!
(speaking from experience) Yes - that's exactly what they're trying to do! If he resigns he won't be able to draw unemployment. Tell him NOT to give into their pressure no matter how ugly they get about it.
one more thing...
It would be a good idea for him to contact the local unemployment office now and tell them what's happening.
I don't know anything about US employment laws, but it doesn't sound good. My thoughts are with you.
I wouldn't turn in a letter of resignation because then, I think, you cannot file for unemployment.
Make sure he doesn't resign, he doesn't turn in a letter of any sorts that could get turned around on him.
Also I might suggest start trying to find a friend (or a friend of a friend of a friend, etc.) who is a lawyer because if his job gets pushy and demanding about the resignation he should threaten legal action.
I am just reading up from below so forgive me if I'm late but you absolutely need to get some kind of council, even if it's on-line, because these people are 100% trying to screw your husband and cover their butts!
Tell him NOT to give them a resignation letter, do NOT sign anything without a lawyer or unemployment looking at it. Tell him to calculate how much over time and vacation pay he is owed. And, if they still are asking him to resign, make sure he does it on his terms meaning getting paid out for vacay he hasn't taken, a severance package if it's feasible, benefits paid by cobra or whatever. Be careful, don't let these people screw you guys!
GRRRR, this is making me to mad, I know how these assholes can be and it's not fair to such a hard working person like CCB!!!
