Getting fired from a predatory, horrible company like what the author describes is not shameful at all. It’s a badge of honor.

It's also better to get fired from one than quit. Author was going to depart either way, but in firing case got severance to relax and job hunt.

I'm not saying one should aim to be fired, but if you smell an abusive company, it's sometimes better to wait for the axe, act professionally, and come out ahead.
