Reply #67: Go into work and make them fire you

[roamer65]

Be calm and cool. Make them have to do the dirty deed in person. Also, it is important to get your personnel file. To fire you they do have to document the reasons in your personnel file, and they will have had to document where they discussed corrective action with you. Otherwise they could be open to a lawsuit. I would bet if you go in, they'll lay you off rather than fire you if they want you gone. Lay off = unemployment benefits.

At will employment means they can lay you off anytime they want, but it does not mean they can fire without documented, justifyable reasons.
