I'm pretty sure quitting loses you unemployment. Don't know about Cobra. That's why really awful employers try to torture workers into quitting. If you can tough it out better to be fired. And in terms of references. There are ways to give bad references without giving bad references. But they can still do that if you quit.

Most or all states you don't get benefits if you quit.
And there is no shame in being fired in this economy. Seriously, "they had to let staff go" will nevereverever be questioned unless she's a heartsurgeon or somesuch.

You get cobra if you quit. Being fired sometimes comes with severance, but it's not guaranteed. I personally think that it's better to quit, because even if they can't legally tell anyone that you were fired, there are ways to communicate that.

So, if she gets fired, she could still get unemployment? I'm surprised.

As I recall, you don't get unemployment if you quit, only if you're fired. But, since she has a new job, it doesn't matter, because employment only lasts until you get a new job.

Different niece - youngest niece Sarah has the new job, oldest niece Kim is still stuck. Currently they are both working in the same soul-sucking department.
This may mean that she should make them fire her, but I'm not sure she can last until they do. She's losing her freaking mind.

I was under the impression that there are grounds that if you are fired, you are not eligible for unemployment. I want to say insubordination, and the like. But I'm not HR person, so can't say for certain.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I thought if you quit, you're ineligible. If you're fired, you can apply. But the company can fight it on some grounds.

Ah, sorry, I was confused.
