If you feel like you might get fired during busy season, is it better to submit your 2 weeks notice or just wait until you get fired. You're burning bridges either way.

Wait and collect paycheck till the end. If you are mentally set to leave, stay as long as they keep you for extra cash. Then they will probable give you a severance package. In the meantime, look for a job.

I knew shit was going to hit the fan for me about 2 months about. I hated my work so I didn't give a shit about the quality. I planned on them firing me at some point it was just a question of when. Once they dropped me, I implemented my preset plan and came out on top. Basically, plan for the worst and turn it into a benefit. 6 weeks severance plus unemployment = long vacation plus new career.

One warning though, knowing you are leaving and just waiting to get fired at the next culling (usually a month after busy season) makes showing up every day and dealing with the job basically torture. Two months seemed like six and I was barely working with my low utilization. Just make sure it's "performance" as a reason to get fired and not "stormed out of the office" or "body slammed the manager". Because you might not get your severance or unemployment.

@Staff Accountant 1 Oh, I just wouldn't even show up at that point. Over it.

Isn't it harder to find another job if you get fired?

You may want to start looking for a job now and leave before getting fired. If you were getting laid off it would be easier to find a job. When you go into an interview they will ask why you left your last job it doesn't look good if you got fired for not meeting expectations, chances are you won't find a job for awhile after that.

like

How bad would you have to be to get fired during busy season? Making a single mistake doesn't automatically lead to a firing. And usually you're given time to improve if you're not meeting expectations, especially during busy season where every body counts.

like

@PwC2, that's true. I don't think they'll fire me for 1 mistake and they will definitely give me time for improvement, but I'm also over public accounting

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
