I’m a medical representative, new to the job, only 15 days in. My manager’s behavior has been very difficult, and in a moment of distress, I resigned while under the influence of alcohol. The company immediately stopped my work and demanded I return company property. Is this legally valid?

Yes, your company is legally entitled to stop your work and demand the return of company property. Even though you resigned while intoxicated, your resignation is valid. However, you may have grounds to challenge the immediate termination if you can prove your manager’s behavior created a hostile work environment.
