Hard call. If you do this there’s a good chance you’re being fired for a reason but if you’ve just been fired after setting that up - and they knew they were going to fire you when they made you set this up - then yeah fuck them honestly.
It really is a tough call because I’ve had employers metaphorically fuck me like this.
I had a viral infection that temporarily wiped out my immune system. After discharging from the hospital, I was told to quarantine at home for a week. After waiting a week to go back to work, I showed up Monday, worked the whole day, then they fired me at the end of the day. I noticed all day that there was a weird mood at the office and nobody was really welcoming me back. Word had got out and everyone in the office knew I was going to be fired that day, but they made me work a full day first. I would much rather them fire me over the phone while I was in quarantine so at least I could start looking for jobs while I was stuck in my house.
