Question

I started working at a retail store almost month ago, and know be threaten with being fired . I think it's better to quit then get fired ? Which is true? Need answers ASAP go back to work in the morning.

Answer 1

quit quit quit!

its gonna look better than fired on your resume, and, if you dont like what your doing at the moment, then your just doing yourself a favour. if you wanna make the transition easier, mke sure you have another job lined up.

Answer 2

If you quit or are fired for cause you can't collect unemployment. I would straighten up and not get fired or quit then find a new job. Once you have the new job give two weeks notice, they will probably tell you go ahead and leave now. Tell the new job you need to give two weeks notice they will respect you for it. If you don't need to stay the two weeks tell the new employer you can start right away.

Answer 3

You definitely don't want to get fired, however if you quit without notice, they can still give you a "not rehirable" reference. If you're sure you're going to be fired, and you don't think you have time to find another job first, go ahead and submit a 2-week notice, and come up with a legitimate reason for leaving. If they're really planning to fire you, then they'll probably tell you to just go ahead and leave now and forget the 2 weeks.

Answer 4

It is always better for you to leave on your own. Future employers will look at you have being fired as negative. Especially if you just started. It makes them think that either you were a complete mistake or you did something to jeopardize that particular company. Like something illegal. If you get fired, however, you can collect unemployment checks. So if you want to be lazy and unproductive, get fired. If you want a future, admit it wasn't the right position for you to the person who hired you and leave on you own.

Answer 5

Do you have another job to take the place of one you want to quit? If not, I would say stick it out until you have another job.

If you do plan on quitting, you may want to consider giving 2 weeks notice. That is professional and you will leave your place of work with a clear conscience.

I guess that all depends on your situation. You didn't say why you may be fired.

If you quit, you may not qualify for unemployment. If you get fired, you may. (all depends on how many hours you work)

Answer 6

Is there anything you can do to get yourself on better terms with your employer? Either way this won't look good; you won't get a good reference, besides the fact that you only held the job for less than a month. Employers like to see stability in your employment history.

Answer 7

Resign if you must. Your next prospective employer will want to understand why you resigned. They may check with your current employer to confirm your story.

Keep this on the up and up. If you don't like it there, be able to tell your current employer why and anyone else why. If you don't like it because they expect you to show up on time and work hard, you'll need to consider changing how you perceive the working world and your place in it.

Answer 8

It's better to quit on your own than to be fired. It looks much better on your resume.

Answer 9

i might stick it out till you discovered a sparkling one, seems greater helpful on a resume after which you do no longer ought to hassle approximately determining the place you will arise with money for some thing.

Answer 10

Quit! You should not be doing something you don't enjoy. You may have to do it for a while.
