2.5 years ago I was "let go" because I (in very simplistic terms) did my job well. I know a lot of "fired" folks might say that, but it's true, and I could get a stat.dec. from the CEO to prove it if I wanted (hell, he felt/I made him feel so bad about his politicking that I could even now get him to post a YouTube video of himself dancing the macarena in a tutu in the middle of the road on the Sydney Harbour Bridge if I insisted on it; if I said it was the only thing that'd repay the betrayal and injustice I felt).
I felt shit...total and absolute shit. I still do at times. It changed much about myself, and much about my general view of humanity.
I think you're better than me though, Krisk, and I think any shittyness will be worn down by your confidence and abilities. If it doesn't, or if it gets you down at times, let me know, and we'll have a drink together and laugh and complain and cry while getting drunk enough to get up on stage and sing
Take This Job & Shove It karaoke-style.
I'm sorry. I hope you get justice. I
know you'll find a way forward for yourself.
Cheers,
Marc
