Finding Alignment In My Life After Being Fired | Alec Fischer | TEDxUMN

[jacintatate]

I was fired this week and I kept my pride refusing to shed a tear... until I reached the door then I cried like a baby.

I was terminated for telling the truth about my workplace. But it definitely is an blessing. Thanks for this

[steaksandwiches]

Just got fired and I’m owning it. I use the word fired with my family and friends and terminated with potential employers. Be open and honest about it. I just had an interview yesterday and the lady goes… It happens… I don’t really care about that, let’s move on. And I’m probably getting an offer in the next week. Don’t let it stigmatize you. I can empathize with this young man. I also suffer from depression and anxiety. I’m getting help on that but I can tell you that when things are good, they’re good with me. I need to work on when things aren’t good. I’m partially to blame for being fired and if you can’t take ownership of some of that, you need to look back in the mirror.

I was fired two days ago. This helps a lot. Thank you Alec

[Ghostshark]

I was just fired today. I feel like I don't know where I belong. But now I feel (honestly, somewhat) determined to find my passion and purpose. I will find some sort of employment that makes me happy, even if I have to create it.

Thank you for this video.

[ceceparra]

Truly inspiring. Left an extremely volatile work environment with an emotionally abusive boss and this helped lift my spirits and realize that I deserve better.

At every moment of your life, you are good enough for the world. ❤️

I lost my job 5 years back... Started something of my own. However, still I cannot forget that traumatic experience. I am not sure how I can erase that experience.

I got fired a week ago from one of my two jobs, and aside from losing my health insurance, i feel just a huge sense of relief at the idea of never being BOH again, never having to interact with certain people again.

[rodeybelldortly]

I was fired last Friday and found myself getting lost in thought of how am I going to pay my bills and continue doing what my purpose is when financially I couldn't sustain it anymore. This video was truly helpful. Thank you Alec Fischer.

I just lost my job this week and this definitely helped me get out the funk I was in!

[TheCereLove]

I needed this, i was wrongfully terminated in the worst way, defamed, accused and lied on just to get me out. It sucks being attractive, smart and hardworking.

[morgancoetzee]

I got laid off because I was getting replaced by a new automated system. I was all smiles and understanding. Till I drove away from the office. I then started bawling my eyes out. However I do think it's a blessing as I drove extremely far and barely saw my family and friends because of that job. Just a little lost to be honest but I'll find my way

[wifferstess]

I read somewhere that whenever someone says "you can't", "get real", etc, that is usually out of fear. Often it means "they can't".

[Renewed-Value]

Thank you, Alec. My facility decided to close. My last day is the 25th of Sept. My first son was born last year and we just bought a house two years ago. I'm trying to figure out how I can look at this as an opportunity rather than a burden.

[YumegakaMurakumo]

It's been 9 days since my last employment. I come back to this video and hear "I was fired on the 5th of January" my birthday. Then I get fired on my birthday of this year.

I guess I should see this as a birthday gift to PUSH myself to do what I actually want to do for a living. Every time I see 3️⃣3️⃣ I am reminded of what I need to do.

I am *UNEMPLOYABLE* like many of us are. The thing is to keep up that encouragement and motivation going in such a harsh world we live in. To keep pushing forward because no one is going to save you except yourself.

As I apply to job after job after job, I think to myself...This is ridiculous, this is no different than a freelancer hunting for animation/art etc. clients...

This video is a huge drive for me to continue to push myself in what I actually want to do for a living.

Brother let me tell you
Whenever I get to a happy place
Able to stand on my feet again
Bounce back from where I am today
I will remember your name
And your words

[STUPIDYOUTUBE_HIDINGMSGS]

Great talk. I just tendered my resignation letter today, being with the company for 15 years, since there is no other option, got pushed out. I know I will be okay even though I haven't been sleeping mostly due to anxiety, but I know I will be fine as long as I tell myself that I can handle it, that job is not my life...

[Stephychungsvlogs]

Thank you for sharing this! I’m pushed out of my job, but I see this as a blessing in disguise. I am going to focus on the bigger picture and put the focus on adding value to the world.
