Of course you can tell them that you're leaving in 6 months. Whether or not they accept that is really up to them... I'm also not sure what resigning to avoid being terminated would get you, since, depending upon the termination reason, you would be eligible for unemployment benefits but those wouldn't apply at all if you were to resign.
- scott00 7y agoResigning allows you to answer no to "Have you ever been fired or asked to resign from any past position?" on future job applications.
- chrismeller 7y agoI don't know that I've ever been asked that before, but similar to giving more than 2 weeks notice... why would you ever answer yes to that?
- bluGill 7y agoIf you were fired from a job they can check and find out. This is bad, they may have to fire you for lieing on your application, even if they would have hired you for a yes. Note that they have no way to know you were asked to resign. When you are asked to leave company records will show "left for personal reasons": it is illegal for them to ask what they were.
- cannonedhamster 7y agoI've been fired before. I'm up front about it when people ask. It's never been a problem. Not sure why this is considered a stigma unless you were really doing something wrong.
- weka 7y agoBecause being fired is associated with incompetence, no?
- pnutjam 7y agoumm... weren't you "asked to resign"?
