Your Decision and in-retrospect

The polite, but firm, request to resign was my most compelling reason to leave my former employment.
I'm still not clear on why a company would ask you to resign rather than fire you. To reduce their liability from wrongful dismissal? To show goodwill by giving you a dignified exit?
Are you considering leaving your employment voluntarily, Ugz?

They asked you for all of the reasons you mention ... Also, depending upon the state there are additional costs required by the company when they initiate the termination decision.
With respect to the initial question of this thread:
I just started another business: a trading business. In retrospect, it was a great decision. I attribute my success in this arena to proper training - I worked for several years as an employee and consultant to major trading exchanges (still do from time to time) and financial firms. As long as you are prepared with a reasonable knowledge of the business and an appropriate amount of capital and a business plan then you should give it a shot: just be prepared for all the hard work involved. Working as an employee with no direct stake in a business rarely pays off ..... Of course starting an enterprise carries more risk than simply showing up at a job and picking up a paycheck .....
At one time I had a successful film production firm. When I sold it, I had capital for another business, but not enough for complete financial freedom.
After looking at many alternatives, I looked at the advantages of trading as a BUSINESS. And that's the way I look at it.
I pay no rent. I pay no employees. I don't need to sell, market or advertise. I win or lose on my own decisions. And as a Trader, I get benefits at tax time.
How many other busineses offer the same advantages?
