I was called into the manager's office and berated for poor job performance. They kept going on and on and finally I asked if they were 'letting me go". He said no but do you want me to let you go? I said yes simply because I felt like they were trying to get me to quit. This way I figured I'd get unemployment. They contested it (I guess most do) stating exactly what I just said, but no misconduct or anything. I live in Michigan and I think it has to be pretty serious to be fired and be turned down, and I don't think simply asking to be fired is really willful or wanton. Plus it's hearsay, it's not as if I was fired for a specific incident that I was warned about or was documented.
