I got fired yesterday. I learned a lot from the job. I'm actually very happy, for now. I hated the job and the people. Wish me luck.

When one door closes another one opens, but if you too busy looking at the closed door you are not going to see the open door💰

Just got fired from a toxic job. Starting my own business. Already got clients.😊

[christophermoody]

Being fired does suck. However, it forces you to be honest with yourself. It forces you to acknowledge that you must step up your game. It also forces you to see that you should want to do things on your terms, not someone else’s.

I got fired 3 days ago and it’s my 3rd time being fired. I got used to it because every time I got fired, I always find a better job and better pay. So I’m not complaining.

[johnconnor]

Getting fired can suck but it's not the end of the world.

[ramses]

I've been fired three times, all from shitty jobs like restaurants and retail. And I found a better job: software engineer.

[liamwillis]

I got fired today hated it im not a slave anymore. Yipppeee

[LaughingGemini]

I've been fired from every job I've ever had. Now I work for myself from home and no one can fire me. My advice: never give up. Always aim higher from where previously were. Understand that there are ALWAYS better opportunities available in the world despite what the people around you may think! And finally you have to take risks if you want something better and everything won't always work out but keep trying until you get what you want, have no fear.

I just got fired tonight and it feels like a relief!

[sergdelarosa]

I was fired yesterday. So blue to think that the company whom you needed more this time of crisis left you. Well, God is good. When door closes there are more doors to open

I got fired 4 weeks ago. I'm now in a much better management role, am making $30k more, have better than average insurance, 1 week more PTO, and fully remote. Honestly never thought this would happen. After I got fired I was so depressed and scared, but then started mass applying to jobs and working on my interview skills. Getting fired can be a catalyst, but you have to seize the day.

Every time I got fired I got a better job and a pay increase just after. The only way my income stagnated was through maintaining long term stable employment.

Employers have a vested interest in keeping overhead down.

[nelfairy]

I just got fired and it’s my first time ever today . I knew the role wasn’t the right fit nor was the culture but I tried so hard to make it work. I pray that the Lord opens the right door for me. I feel sad right now but I know it wasn’t the right fit for me and that God has my back.

[baboocamara]

I got fired today. Didn’t really like the job but too many bills to pay. Wish me luck and better jobs ahead that I really enjoy doing and getting paid for. Peace !

[AdemirAlijagic]

I got fired and I have never been happier! I had been dreaming of starting my own business and YouTube for years but was held back by fear... And I am so glad I got pushed into doing this! I got my first client 2 months in and haven't missed my old life one second!

[brianna_lara]

Well just got “let go” today for “not being nice” to my employers but it’s hard when they get mad at you because you do small mistakes. And the one time I stand up for myself it doesn’t end well😔

"It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes." - Psalm 119:71

[TsuNami]

Made a huge mistake last year and got fired. It was truly a gift from God because I had to leave state to help my parents. Found a seasonal job to help while helping them. After being gone for 12 months, I am faced with no career and feeling humiliated and really bad for what I had done. This helped me feel positive and very motivated. I'm trying to understand what God has in store for me, I may not know what it is but it's going to be better than before! Needed to hear this, thank you Ken!

[JonFlatt]

I got fired a lot of times due to presenting facts on how I wasn't wrong. Best thing ever happened to me since 'm super glad where I'm at now.
