Is it possible to negotiate a "resignation by mutual consent" instead of getting fired by an employer - this could be because of any reason OTHER THAN misconduct. For example, if you are getting 2 consecutive performance warnings, is it better to negotiate a resignation rather than getting fired?
1) What is the advantage to the employer (if any), if I ask to resign gracefully - in other words, why should they let me do it instead of just firing me?
2) Any advantage to the employee?

mutual resignation would be much better because when you apply for a new job the new employer wants to know why you were fired. being fired, different from being laid-off, always looks bad. the only benefit your employer gets if you resign is that they don't have to pay unemployment. they don't have to pay you compensation if you're fired too. if you quit you're able to take your unused holiday time in pay. mutual resignation is a better option.

It is advantageous to the employer because if you resign, you cannot file for unemployment. Also, remember, it is never easy to fire someone, even if they are not doing what needs to be done.
Advantage to the employee? When you interview for another job you can honestly say you resigned, not that you were fired.

1.Employer advantage is that they don't have to pay for you to collect unemployment benefit if you resign .
2.The advantage can be that you can use them as employment reference if they cooperate in the near future.

If you quit there is no repercussions for your employer to concern themselves with, if your employer fires you they'll want to have all their documentation in order to avoid any potential law suits. I suppose you could have a philosophical difference and both of you could wash your hands of each other. I think a signed document by both parties would protect each party in the latter.

depends on if you have a job to go to afterwards. if you get fired you can collect unemolyment until you find another job. sometimes its harder to find a job than you think. if you have another job lined up, do the resigning. it will look better on your resume.

If they fire you, you can get unemployment benefits while you look for a job - if you resign, you can't.
