Guest, you didn't say whether you're in the US, but if you are, I recommend you apply for Unemployment Compensation right away. Don't assume that just because you're being fired "for cause", that you're not entitled to it. Also, don't resign. If you quit, you won't be entitled to UC. If they ask you to resign, or try to talk you into resigning, it's probably because they know you WOULD be entitled to UC if they fire you, and they're hoping to avoid that. Go ahead and let them fire you.

Also, don't assume that being fired means you are unemployable. Most people don't talk about it, but a lot of people have been fired from a job at one time or another, and it doesn't necessarily hurt their careers.

Check around in your area to see if there are any social service agencies that serve the unemployed, and find out what they have to offer. If they have support groups, get into one. Once you start swapping stories with others in a similar situation, you will realize you are not alone, and that in itself is worth a fortune.
