I've only been fired one time in my entire life. i did get let go from a couple of jobs in high school but they were just summer jobs so that doesn't count. the strange thing about the one time that I actually got fired was that I had almost no negative energy experiences with the other workers or any of my bosses. they kept giving me negative feedback verbally but they just had no real energy behind the feedback. they kept saying things like this is very serious and we're about to have a very difficult conversation. but then what followed was never stressful or difficult it just didn't feel very serious. somehow the kind of energy that we had just completely did not sync up. it didn't feel serious I didn't feel stressful. and then they let me go. I guess when you love someone you have to let them go.
it's also interesting that the work I was doing was actually world class work. it was work that customers ended up using and loving. it was work that your mom would be proud of. but they told us in college that 85 to 90% of the time people get fired because of people issues, not because of the work they're actually doing. another words they're doing the work just fine but somehow they just don't match up with the people. interesting.
