get fired without any backup employment. It will force you to get your shit together
Lol talk about bad advice.
Comment on is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs?

Make them fire you. I’ve done it that way loads of times when dissatisfied in a workplace. There’s nothing quite like being fired and out of work to make you get your shit together and find something else. Also, make a plan to become self-employed if you can. Having been fired loads of times I now work for myself and it was the best move I ever made. I no longer have to deal with asshole mangers any more and if there’s someone you dislike and don’t want to work for, you can either not take on the job or over-quote on the costs to get rid of them. Sometimes they’re stupid enough to agree to those costs, so then you at least feel satisfied about working for an asshole.

It’s always worked for me.

What’s the benefit of making them fire you over simply quitting?

Satisfaction at making your asshole boss do something that he/she clearly didn’t want to do. Satisfaction that you made it as awkward as possible for them. You can also play the game of threatening to take them to an industrial tribunal for harassment. They might even give you a financial incentive to go peacefully. It worked for me on a couple of occasions and the bastards deserved it.

I’m sure it varies by state, but in the US, you cannot collect unemployment if you quit, but you can if you were fired (and the company doesn’t decide to fight your claim).
That’s at least one reason people do it.
