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.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.

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

They can fight it if you're fired "for cause" like stealing or just never showing up -- varries by state, natch.

A friend of mine was given the choice of quitting--and her employer would not fight her unemployment claim--or getting fired, and they would fight it.
She chose to leave and take the unemployment.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
If she can get references, I'm not so sure it matters. but references can make a big deal of difference. I assume she is looking?
