Fantastic. I love being fired. Its exciting, opens up new opportunities and means that a new adventure has just begun. Nothing like a good termination meeting to add a bit of excitement to your life! Getting fired means I get to focus on MY life again. My projects, my family, the things I love to do. It means I am forced to get resourceful, creative and inventive with my finances and getting fired also provides the perfect opportunity to subtly force me into starting some business ideas I may have been procrastinating on. I love getting fired! And so should you! http://ultimatelifestyleproject.com xxxx I love this post! Fantastic. I love being fired.

I love getting fired! And so should you!

Just make sure you're always in the market for a new job - keep your skills, industry knowledge and contacts up to date - having something up your sleeve never hurts!

It does not make things less stressful to be overworked because co-workers are let go, and still the plate of tasks persist for the remaining employees. As for anyone working for others to survive, there will be tough times somewhere in the mix every 30 to 80 years when the economic cycles head "south."

It does make me feel better. I work for a Financial Institution....I have been working for 2 years for this organization and my boss treats me like I am a waste product. There is so much "favouritism" (and my boss hates the word) that it has driven some of my colleagues on the verge of committing suicide. The Code of Conduct for the company states that no department could have 2 people (either a family member whether close or distant or a friend) working together. And that is exactly what is being practiced here since the boss has his own niece working under him (under cover) , and as if that is not enough, he "authorized" her to dictate us in a very condescending way. I have generated over 40 million dollars in a year in one type of investment prouct alone for the company and what kind of performance appraisal do I get? Insult, constant bullying and verbal threat to provoke fear of being fired.....not to mention the "double edged sword technique" they use on me. I remember this particular "niece" complaining about the same boss in the past and now she is a public enemy (to employees I mean). People have been demoted from supervisory levels for no genuine reason and women from a particular ethnic background have been given authorization to command unethically to colleagues of THE SAME RANK. Could someone please advice because I cannot bare the burden of being stressed everyday for it goes home with me and my family life has become a major disaster. Hello everybody,

Nothing ever changes. The upper level of employment even look after their own when they are sacked for being totally hopeless. That Canadian Millionairne Conrad Black who was the CEO of AMP Australia several years ago rode AMP into the ground and nearly made it a Company of the past. But he went back to Canada he had to pay excess baggage charges getting his $13 Million on the plane with him. When are the governments of the World going to stop Executives from raping the Company budget from the day they start until they are sacked from the Company? I am a realist..it will never happen because how many former Government Officials end up in private enterprise once they have filled their snouts from Government handouts??

I had wanted to be a writer but thought I needed a job to pay the bills so I could fulfill my dream. The loss of the corporate job was challenging, but it sure helped me to learn the way to do what I love and fulfill my dream with a book (Lifelines: The Black Book of Proverbs) due to be released in November 2009. Joy in what I do keeps me healthy and happy, and the bills get paid. This proverb from Zanzibar – “To lose the way is to learn the way” – summarizes what job loss means to me.
