If this (or a similar policy) affects you and you suspect that it is an attempt by your employer to get you (and others) to quit in order to avoid having to pay severance, unemployment, etc... Understand what "constructive dismissal" is. It may help if you need to file unemployment claims.

Does constructive dismissal retorts apply at all in the US? I assume the vast majority of those affected are in the US...

It's something usually managed at the state level, so depends where they are in the US. In California constructive termination standing is very much a thing.

Excellent, any other states this might apply in?

Most states have some form of regulation against constructive dismissal/termination/discharge (term of art varies), but I don't know of a list. Would be good to have!
