Should I quit or wait to be fired?
I have worked for WalMart for almost 4 years. I recently got into some legal trouble and have been placed on suspension until the outcome of my court date (which is about 10 days away). I'm POSITIVE that I will be terminated afterwards. Shokld I wait and let them fire me so that my chances at unemployment are better or should I resign so that I can get the cashing out of my 401k ball rolling? I have a family and can not make ends meet without some sort of employment. What do you think the most beneficial action would be?

Wait to be fired. If you quit, your chances of obtaining Unemployment Benefits will be almost impossible.
Document EVERYTHING!!! Start a diary and write everything down: names, dates, etc. Leave the emotions out of it - be factual.
Do not quit.
Good luck.

Either way, unemployment isn't guaranteed. In many states, if you resign or are fired, you're ineligible for unemployment.
In general, it's better to quit rather than be fired. Future employers care about how and why you left previous jobs, and being fired never looks good. If you're facing a criminal record, that will further impact your job prospects, and having been fired on top of the record just stacks the deck against you even more.

If you quit you won't get unemployment
If you are fired because of something unlawful you did, you won't get unemployment.
So unemployment is out of the question either way

Look for a new job. Once you've found it, quit the old one.
