Is it better to quit or get fired from a job? If at work they will evntually fire you

Answer 1

Better to quit. Always be thinking about your resume and if you have the chance to say "I left that job to get a better one" it sounds better than saying "I was fired from that job".

If, however, they fire you unjustly, you would most likely have a grievance with the Department of Labour.

Answer 2

Short term, get fired... you may be eligible to collect unemployment.

Long term, give 2 weeks notice and let them know you feel that you are no longer being challenged in a positive way and feel that it is better for you to be employed elsewhere.

My suggestion, if you are a teenager in high school, and only worked a few months it doesn't matter. If you are an adult who has been at the same place for a few years make sure you make your departure comfortable so you don't have any bad feelings in case you ever need them for a reference down the road.

Also it may be best to just sit down with your manager and talk about what is going on. Something they can either change around your position or maybe move you to a different position that better suits your abilities and interests.

Good Luck.

Answer 3

You will not be able to receive unemployment if you are fired from a job for cause. Each state deals with quitting differently as far as unemployment goes.

Better to quit than get fired.

Answer 4

It's better to get fired from a job. If they didn't fire you for a good reason, you can get unemployment. If you quit, no unemployment. I know, I've done both.

Answer 5

It depends. If you have a good job and you're going to be trying to find another job in that field, leaving on good terms is a good idea. You'll need references. Good jobs tend to have small social circles — everyone knows everyone. If it's a job that doesn't pay very well and you'll probably never do again, what difference does it make? What ever you do, I don't think the decision should be based on unemployment benefits.

Answer 6

Of course getting fired looks bad on a resume or employment application. But if you get fired you can collect unemployment benefits and if you quit you will not. It depends if you are looking to get unemployment benefits.. if you are than get fired... if you want your resume or employment application look good quit.

Good luck!!

Answer 7

Quit, because it looks better on your resume and getting fired is never a positive.

Answer 8

Quit benefits
-----------
Your pride and dignity

Looks better on a resume


Fired benefits
------------
Can collect unemployment compensation

You hold onto the job until the very end with all pay and benefits you might recieve by hanging on longer

May end up that you would not have gotten fired after all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the situation you describe the benefits of quitting is most likely better.

I did the opposite ending up succeding at the job afterall.

Answer 9

If you don't see using them as a reference or have to explain to future employers why you were fired, then get fired. Most companies will try to drive you out so you don't collect unemployment.

Answer 10

no other jobs really like to hear you quit, how ever, one job i was changing to told me, "you quit for your own reasons, you get fired for their reasons. If you get fired for a really bad reason, you may have problems finding other jobs. Quitting for your reasons may sound better."
