I was let go from my shiny, new job (held for less than a year), even though I had been assured that my performance was sound and I was progressing up the learning curve. Devastating blow to my confidence and sense of self. The victory for me has been making my peace with this. Reflection has led me to realize that the job was okay, but not a great fit; that I am fortunate that I am financially comfortable without working; and that I am worthwhile and intrinsically valuable as a person whether or not I am employed. I have also reviewed my lifelong work history and come to the conclusion that although I might not have been recognized or rewarded as I would have wished, my work has generally been excellent, my conduct honorable and I’ve left the world a better, more prosperous and fairer and more caring place due to my efforts. In sum, I’m very proud of what I’ve accomplished. Now, to figure out what’s next!

I worked under some TERRIBLE management and learned a ton about how to deal with unsavory people in the workplace. Luckily I'm out of there now!

I was wrongfully fired from an extremely toxic work environment. Although it seemed terrifying and embarrassing at the time, it was trying a blessing in disguise. The opportunities I have been presented since being fired from my own personal definition of hell, has led to me to discover SO much about myself, what I want out of a career, learning to hold my own, respect and stand up for myself! Tough lesson, but wouldn't trade what I have been dealt for the world.
