Massachusetts is an at-will employment state, which means you can either be fired or quit with or without notice. You may, however, have an employment contract that specifies a notice period.
Making the choice to leave your current workplace can be difficult, but it's still ultimately your choice. But what happens when your boss refuses to accept your resignation? Don't worry, the law is on your side, and you have every right to leave your position, regardless of what your boss says.
Resignation is not subject for approval, it's just a mere notice so that your employer will have time to search for your replacement. Last day shall be counted from the moment you submitted your resignation whether there is an acknowledgement or not.
However, when we accept a situation it leads to a sense of peace, while when we resign we feel defeated. This is largely due to a number of factors.

Supreme Court Ruling: Employee's Resignation Is Not Final Until Acceptance Is Communicated.
Whether we find it hard to accept when someone else is suffering, or we think we have to accept something, it's worth bearing in mind these words from Michael J.

An employer cannot reject your resignation. However, you should always follow the right process so that you're not in breach of your contract. You should talk to your employer about how and when other people are told about your resignation. For example, whether it'll be you or your manager who tells them.
It is a common misconception that an employee's notice of resignation is not valid unless it has been "accepted" by the employer. The position at common law is that a notice, once validly given, is effective and can neither be "refused" by the employer or "withdrawn" by the employee, without the other's agreement.
