Yes! Guy I worked with just got a 150k payout for his termination.
I quit two jobs this year because of asshole managers and received unemployment through the end of the year.
This advice depends on what country you’re in. Where I live an employer cannot fire someone on the spot without going through a due process, and getting unemployment benefits has nothing to do with whether you were fired or quit.
Money isn’t more important than my mental health and no I don’t stress over not having money.
This may vary based on local laws. Broadly I’d agree but there are tons of details that will change the situation for some people.
In some places, refusing to show up for work is considered the same as quitting. In some places your unemployment benefits aren’t tied to the manner in which you lost your job so you may want to quit if you think your employer will be a decent reference. I’ve worked jobs where the boss didn’t understand the concept of days off so I quit but told him it was so I could take a gig job that paid really well, was able to use him as a reference.
In general, you are better off keeping as many bridges unburned as possible. It is satisfying to tell someone why you are quitting but it isn’t always in your own best interest. Know the laws where you work, the nature of your employment, and judge the situation with as little emotion as you can in order to do what is best for you.
hard to do when my manager wouldn’t even fire someone who probably stole $500 from the safe lol. pretty sure i could beat them up in the parking lot and i wouldn’t get fired
Yeah, but damn it’s so hard sometimes.
I mean if they fire you with reason they can still dispute unemployment if that’s the angle so be careful on what you do if that is what you are looking for.
The word “No” can be powerful, especially when directed towards people who aren’t used to hearing it.
To clarify: I actually like my current boss, and would probably pull some extra work here and there. But mostly, this is because he respects the work I do and my time as an individual. Funny how that works.
This is especially true for canadians. We have way more worker’s rights than americans do, but canadian workers dont exercise them as they should. Dont quit, let them fire you, then ask for a severance, and dont sign anything.
If they push back, get a free consultation from an employment attorney and follow the what they tell you to do.
Sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t.
Not everyone’s mental health can just *hope* for one day that you get fired in such a situation where you can sue and win.
Here’s an idea I’d like to give people: If you’re going to quit a job you hate, why not have some fun? Talk about unions, distribute union literature, try to start a union – and if the employer retaliates, report them to the NLRB.
People in this sub be like “my boss asked me to come in on my day off. I said no, and they said okay. So I quit!” Lol
I called in on the 15th of this month and was let go because they asked me for a COVID-19 test, safe to say I let the state know and I have a caseworker. They are waiting for me to get paid then I can file for wrongfully terminated.
He was a young manager who probably doesn’t know the law.

Be sure you have enough work week though.
I had worked steadily for many years, got laid off and took unemployment insurance for a while.
Got a new job, worked a few months and got laid off again. Unemployment insurance was denied as the time I worked was the last job not long enough.
