Ask HN: Who wants to be fired (February 2023)

4 pointsmgl3 comments

Whilst this is a bit humorous entry I wonder how many of us would consider quitting their current jobs and why? (throwaway accounts welcome)

As we are heading into longer term recession after a fantastic decade in tech world, post covid and tired, and just ahead of more and more serious climate change effects, do you have thoughts like “I have earned enough”?

What are your plans?

So do people post their qualifications/reasons that someone should "fire" them or what..?

Is it 'Quitting' - or being 'Laid off' (or even out-&out 'Fired', which is different)...which are we talking about here?

Just want to be clear, as the Title differs with the Description.

Being fired is the most advantageous in the US, if you want to claim unemployment benefits. You get none of those if you quit. That said, I think the spirit of the question allows for discussion of both.
