I'm 23 and I got fired from my first job out of college today. I'm still in shock and am not sure how to proceed from here. HR has given me papers to sign and I have 10 days to get back to them. I haven't signed anything yet. I'm wondering if I could tell them I quit instead? I'm worried about the potential conversation I'd have to have with future employers asking if I was fired, why I was fired, etc. I understand that if I quit, I'd forfeit my severance package and unemployment plans. But is it even possible/legal to quit after they've told me I was fired?
