I’ve been considering leaving my well paying job after 3 years. My last year I took to building my network and have a decent number of work emails I can reach out to for potential work. I was fired on the spot and didn’t even have to put in my two weeks.
Won’t my next companies see I was fired and after calling HR might reconsider me? How can I make sure my referrals outweigh HR’s word? Why is it almost better to be fired than quit on your own volition?
