Would you rather quit your job or be fired?

I think if you worked at a job long enough and you don't agree with how the mgrs. or who ever are doing with the company, then I think you should leave. I think you can still get unemployment if you leave for a good reason. If you get fired, then that is on your record and it will have more questions to be answered.

I think it may depend on some factors. There are situations where I'd rather quit than get fired. It's easy to tell something when we are not in a situation but it's more difficult if we're really in that kind of scenario. Anyway, good day to you!

i think i definitely prefer to quit my job and leave the company respectfully rather than being fired... it is so embarrassing and i will feel very terrible if that happens to me... being fired means i had done something really bad to the company that makes it can't forgive my mistakes and have to dismiss me... i will be very upset... so i will definitely prefer to quit first if i have a feeling that i am going to be fired...

I have quit several positions. There are times when its a good idea to leave. If I can make more money with better hours, then I'm going to take the better position. One job I left was to far away from my home, so had to leave, as gas was being rationed. I couldn't have all of the gas being used just going to work. There had to be enough for emergencies and school. I have never been fired and think it would be terrible. It would be one of the lowest days of my life. My family and friends would have a hard time understanding the situation.

If I felt a need not to work there anymore, I quit. I've always worked hard and been one of the better employees and don't think I would do anything to get fired. I've done a lot of things that I would have fired someone over. I could care less about the unemployment compensation. If I need one I would have another one in no time. Now I own my own company and do not plan to work for anyone again. This is the 4th or 5th year and it is growing every week.

I have quit a few jobs. I have never been fired though. I wouldn't want that rejection :)

I would rather quit my job because I have been fired and it doesn't feel too good.. I was fired bacause the company was downsizing and I was the one that was chosen.. I had 17 years with the company, was indispensible, (according to them), had 4 weeks paid vacation, higher salary, seniority, more sick days than the others and I was the one who got the axe.. I did not like the feeling of being fired especially after being with the company for so long, but as a consolation prize, they went out of business less than six months later.. I am not sure if you have heard of Revco or not, but that is who it was.. I believe they changed hands a couple of times and then were taken over by CVS.. I am not 100% sure that this was the way it turned out but that is what I heard anyway.. So, given the opportunity to do it over, I would look them straight in the eye and say I quit and take my dignity and go home.. Happy posting and Have a good day..
