Yes. Being fired means almost nothing nowadays. Worst case scenario, they fire you with cause so you can't collect unemployment. That puts you in the exact same situation as quitting. Once you decide you want to quit, just do the bare minimum while you job search.

That term makes my teeth hurt. There’s nothing “quitting” about simply performing the agreed work at the agreed wage.

Corporate attempts to phrase this as some kind of theft are disgusting.

I actually work as keenly as possible. I really strive to leave a wound that'll sting long after I'v--- uh, I mean I really strive to leave a good impression during the (for me) year-long process of finding a good next job. For my peers, they're going to need my work to be super up-to-date because leaving them a shit-fire is a bit of a dick move and I respect my peers a lot.

Not if it's a constructive dismissal, like them forcing you back into the office when you're a remote employee. Well, depending on where you live of course.
