Return to Question

I tried to make the title as neutral as possible, but the reality is that "I" (I am asking on behalf of a relative I know well) am doing at least 2 people's job, being paid the bare minimum, and with no chance of climbing (in the last month, two of my coworkers have been let go because they were "too expensive" being paid a few thousand euros more than I do.

It really is not that big of an amount, we are well below the average pay in our country, and work so many unpaid hours, with so little reward, literally everyone is burnt, many of my coworkers have depression or big amounts of stress or have health related issues because of how much we have to work to keep up.

So my boss and CEO of my (used to be 15 people) company talks to me about how my big client is now leaving (the client cut all investment in my country, is not really related to my performance whatsoever in this case) about letting me go. It's hard for me to accept, but honestly I want out, it's too much for my health.

Yesterday he called out of work hours rambling about trying to get new clients for me and making it work for me like he was doing me a favor when the reality is he wanted to dump all of my work to the intern (being paid 500€ a month) and that intern said she cannot possibly do it (she already works more than a regular person would do in a sane company).

I am trying to come up with ideas on how politely communicate my employer that I would rather prefer we keep the plans of our first talk, he fires me, and I am free to file for unemployment, get healthy again, and look for a better company in the meantime.

Ideas I have so far:

• "I have been thinking about our last two talks and given my personal situation and the situation the company is in, I believe it is better if we keep the original plan and part different ways as of 31st.

• Given the circumstances, I would rather be fired on the 31st as we agreed so I can put my life back on track.

• I am not comfortable here anymore (because of the firing of my seniors and people that were trustworthy to him), and I feel like I need to try something different.

• I think it is better for both the company and myself to part ways.

Would that be too bold? Can I improve my view on this issue?

Thanks in advance, it is a hard thing for me to ask.

Edit: I would love to first find a job, but I have been trying for almost two years with no success, so it is unlikely to find any in short notice (say, a few months), since it has not happened so far.
