Other thing is if you get fired for any reason you either have a gap in your resume, have to lie, or risk being not taken by anywhere as basically damaged goods.
This gets really hairy if you worked for, say, First Data who is notorious for mass firings at certain times of the year to make their budget look better.
If you’re fired & it really is not your fault you have the ability to explain what happened. Interestingly, employers risk a lot if they bad-mouth an ex-employee. At the last place I worked the policy on referrals was simply to say 1) yes, they were an employee & 2) they would or would not be considered for re-hire. Nothing further would be said. I always kept my annual reviews to hand out to possible future employers.
