Fired.


Question Posted Sunday July 13 2008, 2:53 am

So I got fired from a job I loved.
I've never been more humiliated in my life.
And I am beyond traumatized.

How am I supposed to handle this?!

We've all gotten fired or layed-off from
nice jobs before.

I myself am actually on the brink of being
fired from a job that I really like...

due to false charges my bosses are making
against me to the board of directors.

it's a money thing, at this point. The
recession makes it hard for them to pay
my salary.

I just remember, a job is a job. We're not
defined by our jobs.

Therapy possibly? Or move on with your life! I understand...life is a bumpy road to success and EVERYONE has a meltdown once in a while. Don't dwell in the past...it will get you no where! Stand right back up and continue. Because if you don't, you will miss the new opportunties that will come on your road and will change your life. Don't let this being fired get you glum. Start something new...yes it might be hard but in the end, you will be happy that you got back on your feet and lived.

Don't dwell on the being fired part.
Just get out there and find something new.
I know it can be an awful feeling but
you will probably find something even
better. Don't put it off because if you
do it will be harder to find something.

People are let go everyday from jobs.
The economy being what it is it will
probably get even worse. You aren't
the first or probably the last person
who will be fired from a job. Don't
let it get you down. :)

Did you do something specific for them to fire you, or did they just come to the decision to let you go?
I can sympathize with you here, since you actually enjoyed your job. Not many people have a job to go to which they like.
You have to understand that getting fired can happen to even the best of people though, and dwelling over the fact you've lost your job isn't going to make you feel any better.
There are ups to the situation, for example, you've gained a lot of experience, so it will be alot easier to find a job similar to what you had.. and I'm sure they will at least give you a good reference if you didn't do anything specific for them to fire you.
The next step is to update your cv and apply to more jobs you like the look of, as soon as you can. The quicker you get back into a working environment (even if you don't love it as much), the quicker you will feel better.
Stop beating yourself up about it and remember.. it can happen to even the best workers.
Cheer up and good luck with finding a new job.

Just know that you're not the only that gets fired from a job. There are many jobs like it, maybe even better. Getting fired from a job shouldn't be a big deal. Just find another job similiar to your old job. And things would be fine.

Hoped I Helped & Good Luck!
