Sorry couldn't change the title after posting. Should've said Get fired = unemployment benefits?
I noticed this pattern on this subreddit where if a person in the US has a “choice” to quit their job or get fired from their job, the better option is to get fired to collect unemployment benefits.
Is collecting unemployment really that simple by getting fired? Are there more details to this?
Would there be a specific reason required to collect unemployment from benefits? I've also seen that you're more likely to get benefits if you had your dismissal in writing? If you were to apply for another job, given that you chose to get fired for unemployment benefits, would this affect your future ability to find a job?
