Is it legal to be asked to put in your notice to leave a job?

Question Details:

So I have recently sat down with my boss to discuss some areas that I feel need improvement for our facility to operate better than it has in the past. We have a very high turnover and I feel that it is due to improper training and poor organization. I also let her know that this made my much more involved and that I was unhappy with my extra work for no compensation. I hadn't heard from my boss in almost 3 weeks since we discussed everything and she works out of several buildings. Then, out of the blue on a Wednesday she called me in and said that she knew I was unhappy and thinking of leaving the company and wanted me to give her a confirmation on if I was staying or going by Friday! I don't feel like that is a decision that can be made in 48 hours. Now I feel terribly uncomfortable working there and am seeking some legal insight. Is this legal? How do I go forward working in a hostile environment like this?
