I talked to my HR manager, it appears that regardless of the outcome I will have the status of being laid off when asked from employers and on any written record with the company. Sometimes it's good to be friends with HR.
How did you become privy to this information? That's some pretty serious ammunition you have on him, and you could probably use that to your advantage.
Blame my IT roots, but is it still a big deal, employment wise, between getting fired and quitting? I get the unemployment benefits angle, but your next employer doesn't usually prod too hard about your past job's exit and if you didn't do anything criminal or dangerous, couldn't you spin your exit so that they look at other qualities before hiring? Am I mistaken here? The workforce has changed to the point where people generally don't stay at a job for more than five years, no?
NEVER EVER EVER EEEEEEVVVVVVVVVEEEEERRRRR quit in this situation unless you have another job lined up. Ride it out and force them to fire you or you will lose eligibility for several unemployment benefits
I was getting rejected for internships and full-time work left and right when this movie came out, never ever sympathized with the tone or characters when I saw the trailers. Contrastingly I did rent Haiku Tunnel about an office temp and enjoyed that.
When it comes to previous job verification, the standard line is "is the employee eligible for rehire?". Companies are too worried about lawsuits to deviate from this line. Often, the new employer will not even ask and will only inquire on job verification on the length of their employment history to ensure it matches up with their resume.
