Hello,
I am an assistant manager at a large retail company. I have been informed that later this week I will be terminated for the store not obtaining certain sales related goals this month (assuming that the goals aren’t miraculously met within the next couple days).
My superiors informed me on Friday that, unfortunately, it didn’t look like the goals could be met, and that I would be terminated next week as a result. At that point they asked me what I wanted to do. I understood them to be asking me if I wanted to just resign now or if I wanted to wait-out the next few days to be terminated.
I will say that it is in the best interest of both me and the company for us to part ways. I have no hard feelings toward my employer….it just didn’t work out. It is a different type of management style and culture, and doesn’t really suit my skills or strengths. We part ways and everybody’s happy.
My only question is, do resign or do I wait for them to terminate me? This is where I’m really stuck. I’m leaning towards resignation, as I have never been involuntarily terminated from a job in my life. I also don’t relish the idea of just waiting-out the next 3-4 days just waiting to be discharged.
However, I would like to be able to collect unemployment insurance while I look for new employment. If I resign (under these circumstances) does that make me unable to collect unemployment? Also, how big of an impact will the resigned vs. terminated issue be to perspective employers while I’m looking for work? I don’t want to significantly hurt my chances at new employment because I was terminated, just to collect the $240 a week from unemployment that AZ allows.
Any help, guidance or info would be appreciated.
Thanks!
