Although there are differences in the various employment legal systems around the world, I think there is a world of difference between being made redundant (losing the job because the position has disappeared) and being fired (where a replacement will fill your position). Particularly here in the UK, many people who would fall under the fired category agree to technically resign as this is deemed to be in the best interest of both parties.
In Belgium, if you really want to leave and you don't care about the stigma of being fired, it is better to be actually being fired.
You get a better severance package and you immediately are able to receive unemployment compensation from the government.
However, if you get fired for urgent reasons (for example making a big mistake or doing something illegal) you get considerably less.
