Speak to Manager after giving Resignation Letter

That seems completely counter intuitive. Why should a company be penalized even more by firing you?
Because firing people comes with penalties. It just does. You can't just fire people willy nilly. Just like they can't just not show up to work without penalties. Things like unemployment are paid for by companies that fire you. If a company fires you, they have to cover that stuff.

Most of the time I'm sure companies are firing someone for bad performance or the need to downsize.
And if because of downsizing, they still have penalties to deal with.

Oh wow.. the only penalty they suffer is being fired, but what do they care, now they get paid for doing nothing. Instead of being paid to at least show up, even if they do nothing while there. lol

Getting fired means they are not getting a full paycheck but have to wait some time and then get a partial one.

Unemployment isn't a wonderland of money. But it is a penalty to companies firing people who wanted to work.

Believe me i know. I was doing some consulting, and just a very few number of hours a week covered the pay from unemployment - So I told them not to bother continuing with the paperwork.
In retrospect, I should have opened an LLC, billed the consulting dollars through that, and paid myself minimum wage, and collected unemployment lol

I'm not sure how legal that is. My accountant at the time seemed to indicate that when you're an owner and the one doing the work, you have to pay yourself a wage. If you don't and you get audited, they would make you pay yourself a wage of some kind so you're paying FICA, etc.

As an LLC? Pretty sure you don't need to be paid to work. But I've never run an LLC. You only have an issue if you are taking profits AND not paying yourself to work.

Kinda hard to pay your personal bills if you're not taking profits out of the company to pay them, or am I missing something? Assume single person income.

Pay the bills with unemployment. Pay for work stuff with the "profits."
