the Fuck Stick that I used to call my Boss fired me today. Florida, you don't have to give a reason.

Frankly, I'm relieved

Condolences or congratulations, whichever you feel like now.

A while back I had 4 jobs in four years. One I was laid off after 27 years; one I quit after 2 years to take job #3; fired from job #3 after 2 years; been at the same job now for 10 years.

I don't look at time wasted when let go unless you thought it would lead to better things and that didn't pan out.

Out of college, I had a career. Now nearing retirement, it's about running out the clock until I decide to retire. Every year employed is one less year unemployed.

Sorry to hear that. I hope it works out for the best. I have talked to a number of people who told me, in hindsight, getting fired was the best thing to happen to them.

I just got a job! I was worried that I had just purchased a 73 "Teener" last month, then got laid off. I thought I would have to think about selling it. I just got it! Not fired, just nature of construction. jobs start and jobs come to an end. thats just the way it is. I start Monday. Its a small project for Elon Musk, A. I.

I got fired back in the early 90’s working for a small semiconductor equipment fab company. Fired me at 6:00 pm on a Friday night! Cleared out of my office in 30 minutes and stopped at a auto parts store. Called my wife collect from a payphone and told her what had happened and she asked if i was okay and what was I doing? I said “ Im buying brake pads and rotors and ill do a brake job on the Jag tomorrow”
Karma is a #itch however. Three months later i went to work for a large company that had parts machined where I was fired. They ended up pulling the work……I stayed with them for ten years. Great job.

Sorry for that bit of bad luck right before Christmas, TC. I hope you told him that you'd been fired from better jobs than this one. Keep your head up and your feet on the ground. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

You have my condolences. It's happened to me too several times over the years. A new door will soon open if it hasn't already.
