Summary:
A personality conflict between an employer and employee can be resolved by a mutual decision to terminate the employment relationship pursuant to which the employer gives an employee a reasonable period of notice and thereby a period of time within which to seek alternate employment.
Termination here was a mutual decision wherein each recognized that they could not continue working together. It was not leaving without just cause. Nor could I characterize it as a constructive dismissal. It was simply a mutual albeit acrimonious decision to terminate the relationship immediately.

Summary:
It is not clear why the Board characterized the events as a constructive dismissal. A personality conflict, a flaring of tempers does not automatically lead to such a conclusion. These are equally consistent with an employee leaving employment (with or without just cause).
