I disagree, quitting is not synonymous with firing the boss. When you leave, the company and your boss retain everything you built. You forfeit your stock options. Finding a new job isn't always trivial, either. Changing jobs and possibly changing locations is expensive.
- ghiculescu 4y agoAl these can be flipped. Replacing a lost employee is expensive too. The boss forfeits the employee’s domain knowledge. The employee retains all the money they were paid. They aren’t perfectly equivalent, but there’s a strong parallel between the two, which is why transactional employment relationships work.

- bryanrasmussen 4y agoyeah, I was being facetious because the boss doesn't really get asked and can lie, the fired employee has to come up with a good explanation for why they were fired. Since the discussion was about ways in which there are differences between being fired and quitting.
