[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The catch is you don't get fired today out on you butt. You are being fired for performance, that's a big deal and will be difficult to find a new job, especially in this economy. [/quote]
As I said, I already have a job lined up. I can start Monday. [/quote]

Then do it. You sound young and foolish. [/quote]

Everyone is giving you the same advice but you don't want to take it. So quit today.[/quote]
I understand what everyone is saying, but what proof do I have that they will give a positive reference? They’ll be lying. I’m being bought, and if people can be bought, what even is the purpose of references? I could stay two weeks, cash my check, and still receive a poor reference. I’m just trying to protect myself.

There is no cost to staying, except added stress. There is huge potential upside. Stay, stay, stay. Hold your head high. Be polite. Get your coworkers’ numbers. That way, you can ask them for a reference, rather than your boss, if they would have more positive things to say. [/quote]
