Have you ever been fired from a job?

4. I don't know if this is a factor for you....

I found that one of the problems in being unjustly fired is the desire to obtain revenge. And of course, getting the revenge you want and feel you deserve. I found I did not get that. I did not have to go back to the terrible working situation. The problems there got worse after I was gone. The person who fired me got fired. The arbitrator who ruled in favor of the company and against got fired. Eventually I got a really nice job with a great working environment. You gotta take what you get.

A colleague of mine was unjustly fired and he spent years getting revenge and hurt a bunch of people who had nothing to do with his firing. I talked to him about it but he couldn't adapt. It came back to haunt him.

Getting fired is a deeply emotional event and the anger lasts for years. It's a challenge to overcome.
