Getting fired sucks; having your means of income suddenly dissipate leaves you in a pretty vulnerable situation, forcing you to dig into your savings in order to keep yourself afloat—which, considering how hard it is to save at the moment… probably doesn't leave you with a lot.
Luckily, there's unemployment (if you uniquely qualify), which can help bridge the gap and keep you off the streets while you find new work, which your previous employer must pay a part of—unless they can devise a way to disqualify you from unemployment in the first place. See, if you willingly vacate (resign) a position, you don't qualify for unemployment—which is why your employer may be uniquely motivated to ensure that your firing gets excitingly reframed into a resignation… All you need to do is sign this document saying you willingly resigned.
