H1B approved

H1B approved today CA center:-). In the mean time, my current boss tells me that I will not get paid in the interim 'cause I will earn too much :-(. What a *****! Anybody tells me whether or not it is good for me to resign tomorrow? holding H1B from school and wondering if I am legal to stay with the proof of new H1B approval. It will be about one month in between. Thank you.
