It is impossible to know how to answer your question without knowing more about the facts of the case. Generally speaking, since employment in the United States is on an "at will" basis, no damages are collectible by an employee who voluntarily terminates his or her employment. While there are exceptions to this rule, your inquiry does not suggest any facts that would support an alternative basis of recovery. If you wish to sue an employer, you generally will need to start by hiring an attorney. Good luck.
