Shop Owner Wants Me To Resign But Won’t Fire Me

Card image cap

Location: Maryland, USA

I’ve worked at an automotive repair facility for the last 6 years, master certified and have my state inspection license. Shop owner is nearing retirement and coasting until then. I’m a very go get it person and have recommended some minor changes to him over the years to maximize profits, increase productivity and cut down on wasted time. Each time I’m answered with a “why fix what’s not broken, we’ve been doing it the same way since the 80s”

Well anyway this morning he pulls me into a meeting in his office and says that he’s realized I won’t be happy here any more and that I should seek employment elsewhere and that he wants to part ways with my employment but he won’t fire me. I have over a 100 hours of PTO that he’s trying to get out of paying me and I’m assuming he doesn’t want to deal with me getting unemployment.

So the workplace is very awkward now and I’m not sure what to do but I feel that it’s in my best interest to keep showing up and clocking in until I have something in writing or actually get fired. Thoughts?
