Should I allow myself to get fired or should I quit?

Hello r/antiworkers, I'm part time employed in the retail business and am looking to move on to greener pastures.

Hello r/antiworkers,

I'm part time employed in the retail business and am looking to move on to greener pastures.

Our store went under new management and since then, I've been getting 'performance based' writeups despite doing nothing but good work for almost a year prior to our new store manager.

I got written up a couple of days ago for calling in for a shift that no one was available to cover. As in, it was my responsibility to work the shift if I couldn't find someone to take it for me. (I don't normally call in, I had to go to the hospital the night before.)

I know it sounds like a stupid question but should I voluntarily put in my notice so I can work my piece and leave or would it benefit me more to get fired so I could claim some sort of financial compensation if things go south?

TLDR: My new manager hates my guts and seems iching to fire me, should I quit now to save myself the stress or wait until they go through the process of firing me?
