"Forced voluntary resignation"... What a fucking gross euphemism for being fired. It's disgusting but I guess at this point I really shouldn't be surprised by how Amazon treats their employees.
Oh it gets worse, my old company used the term "involuntary separation".
How about “un-hired”?
It's not a euphemism though, if you voluntarily resign, you're probably not eligible for unemployment.
They can't FORCE it... but they CAN make you THINK they're forcing you to resign.
My girlfriend got laid off a while back, and they asked for her to submit a resignation letter instead of them firing her. She said no. Guess who got unemployment while she was looking for work?
