Is it just a dignified way of firing someone??

It means that if they don't step down, you'll leak the photos of them boinking Jill Stein at that dinner party in Russia.

Ah, interesting. Meaning that if they were to "refuse," they'd be outright fired then?

if there is an employment contract, resignation and termination may have different legal significance, contracts sometimes list reasons that have to be given for termination

It's about making them an offer they can't refuse.

That means "fired".

Basically it means I'm giving you a choice you can resign or you can be terminated.
Depending on the circumstances, a resignation may also mean that you are entitled to benefits and privileges still. Firing, that's usually not the case.

Yes, that's exactly what it is. It's supposed to let the person getting fired save some face.
