Would like to hear the other side of story. From reading this, if she had done nothing wrong should not have resigned. Let them prove the allegations. If have nothing to hide, no reason to resign

Sounded like they forced her to resign. The alternative is usually worse in these situations.

The alternative is only worse if you are guilty of something. It takes leverage to make someone quit a government job. It seems like she had an ax to grind against a specific remote employee that wasn't in her department.

Not necessarily. True or not, her reputation is shredded. She can either leave and take her life into her own hands or she can be strung along in a lengthy process stacked against her.

Also, what makes you assume this was personal against the remote employee?

She was promoted 4 times during her employment with the city. How is that stacked against her?

Her reputation was shredded when she said she was forced to quit. The city would respond to any inquiry with title and dates of employment.

Seems like - that's what it seemed like to me. She was questioning the work ethic of an employee that didn't report to her, because what she wanted that person to do wasn't getting done.

I do think if it was me and I knew I had done nothing wrong I’d make them fire me rather than resign. I think you’ve got a much better case against them that way.

However, we don’t know what was said behind closed doors, and could see someone convincing her that it was better for her to resign quietly, then she changed her mind afterwards and came forward.

Honestly from the outside it’s impossible to know.
