Resigning 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"?
