How do I safely get fired so I can collect unemployment?

Ive worked at this company for over 2 years, it's always sucked but I had a good team + awesome supervisor to deal with it. Management was changed up and is making brash decisions clearing people out, i.e. my supervisor and people in my department I respected, meanwhile people in my position typically make a lot more than I do right now. So at this point, shoveling the shit is no longer bearable. I have savings I can lean on for minimum 2 months and job opportunities I've been researching for about a week. On top of this, my partner is independently wealthy, and has offered to help me with expenses, so leaving is no big deal for me right now. Is there a way I can safely parachute from this job so I can collect unemployment? Ive been trying to get fired for a week or two. I'm not…


Ive worked at this company for over 2 years, it's always sucked but I had a good team + awesome supervisor to deal with it. Management was changed up and is making brash decisions clearing people out, i.e. my supervisor and people in my department I respected, meanwhile people in my position typically make a lot more than I do right now. So at this point, shoveling the shit is no longer bearable.

I have savings I can lean on for minimum 2 months and job opportunities I've been researching for about a week. On top of this, my partner is independently wealthy, and has offered to help me with expenses, so leaving is no big deal for me right now.

Is there a way I can safely parachute from this job so I can collect unemployment? Ive been trying to get fired for a week or two. I'm not doing anything stupid like mouthing off or harassing anyone, just trying to fall behind on deadlines and things. However, management seems to think I'm the “good” one in my department, so it's not doing anything. What's something I can do that will get me fired, but not written up badly enough that I can't file for unemployment insurance?

Thank you for reading, any help at all is appreciated!
