At will employment: you can be let go at any time for no reason.
Employers will fire employees on the spot at work or over the phone.
Employees are just commodities.
Yes, reputation is important.
Your health took precedence at the time.
People at that job are thinking about themselves only, everyday, like we think about ourselves.
We don't have to give an employer a detailed explanation to preserve our reputation. We can't control what others think about us.
Giving notice by phone call is acceptable.
The email isn't going to protect you. It only protects the employer from two things:
1) a lawsuit from you alleging a termination or
2) you filing an unemployment claim which would normally require so many prior working quarters. And the employer would deny.
Employers don't care about former employees.
Some jobs can be misrepresented and not end up being what was discussed in the interview.
