Dear Annie: I read your article about quitting over ethics, and I have a somewhat related question about my own situation. I was recently forced out of my job, following a dispute with my boss that was partly about ethics. I spoke with both an attorney and the local labor board, and because of the unusual circumstances surrounding my firing, they both think that I could win in court if I decided to sue the company, but I'm not interested in a long, costly legal battle.

亲爱的安妮：我拜读了您那篇关于出于道德考虑而辞职的文章，我自己的情况多少与此也有点相关，因此向您提问。最近我和老板发生了争执，部分原因就在于道德问题，此后我被迫离职。我和律师以及本地的劳工委员会谈过，由于我被解雇的情况很不寻常，他们都认为如果我决定起诉这家公司的话，我很可能能够赢得官司，可是我无意卷入旷日持久、成本高昂的诉讼。

However, I did work out a separation agreement with human resources. One of the provisions in it states that my former employer will not discuss the reasons for my departure with people who ask for a reference. I suspect my old boss is violating this agreement, because I just had a job offer withdrawn after the hiring manager contacted this person. Keeping in mind that I really don't want to sue, what can I do about this? –Norm

不过，我和人力资源部门达成了离职协议，其中一个条款就是：如果有人要求原雇主提供离职证明，公司不得透露我离职的原因。可是，我怀疑前老板违反了这份协议，因为有家公司本来已经答应聘用我，但招聘经理与我的前老板联系后却反悔了。我该怎么办？重申一下：我真的不想打官司。——诺姆
