I had an issue with my immediate manager. I approached our HR consultant who only works once a week and lodged a formal complaint. When my manager found out that I had approached HR In retaliation, he began to make my every day working life a nightmare by excessive micro-management. This had a negative effect on my well-being and I gave my notice of resignation. Speaking to several friends who practice HR has revealed to me that this is a case of constructive dismissal. What can I do now that I have already resigned?

The problem is that it is going to be extremely difficult or impossible to prove the harassment. He is going to deny it so you need witnesses or documentation. If you cannot prove it, there is nothing that you can do. I would not have advised you to quit. I would have advised you to speak to your doctor and get some time off for medical reason. That would have helped your case. If you can prove it, this may be a case of constructive dismissal and you would be owed severance. You can call me to discuss.
