How to prepare for quitting or getting fired from your job (follow-up video)  

Thank you so much for sharing such great comments and questions! Let me know via comments below how I can help you further and think about the future of work.

I don’t necessarily know if there’s a big difference. A lot of times if you quit the manager has already trashed your reputation.

Yes this could be a challenge it depends on the situation. But carefully leave with an planned exit.

I think work would be more heathy if we all worked remotely where possible. Problem solved. Humans arent great at working in each others space together unless its a physical outdoor activity. At least that's my experience. The problem is the office culture.

Great advice. I am in a dead end job. When hearts not in it, no matter the time put in work doesn’t translate to quality output. I think planning your work day and focus on small tasks to minimally satisfy the expectations and not loosing focus on finding a better job will be right approach for me.

Thank you, Michael. This really spoke to me.

Hey get your resume up-to-date. Corporations don't owe you anything, so you are your own employer. Do you do more than expected in your job, are you mentoring others, and asking for feedback? Are you thanking others for helping you finish a task, a report, a collaboration, etc. Always thank others for helping you. It builds trust and they will go out of their way to help you later. Document your work, ask for feedback from your Supervisor and ASK for work. What I did as a Supervisor, (now retired) was preach to my team was the four Cs: Communication, Collaboration, Cooperation, and Coordination. No one can take shots at you if you do these four things and of course, document your work.

How - or more like WHY - would anyone prepare to get fired from a job? Geez ... how can any sane person even begin with an ounce of sanity with regard to such an idiotic topic? The only thing to keep in mind is to NOT be a total bawl baby child about it all. If you seriously believe you will get fired, and it's for legitimate reasons ... then just grow hell up and be an adult -
