Can you sue a firm if you were pressured to quit a firm?

After this years busy season, I met with the Partner, HR, and a Manager in April about either to quit or be on probation (basically micromanaging). I choose to quit. With the limited resources, client support or urgency, and small teams filled with internsI, I was not able to complete backlog in a timely manner. Additionally, I was hospitalized in April for heart conditions from stress of the job.

Where was the pressure? They gave you two options, you chose one.

Absolutely not. You have 0% case. Move on.

You had the option to go on a performance improvement plan. If you can prove that the firm was completely wrong here, than you may have a case.
