Losing My Job Is One of the Best Things That Ever Happened to Me
It’s only been 6 weeks and I feel so free
It’s hard to believe that it was just six weeks ago that I worked my last day at my former company.
I knew I wanted to leave, I just didn’t fit in with their management style.
I used to be bitter about them, thinking they were all in the wrong. Although mistakes happened on both sides, now I can admit that it just wasn’t the right fit for either of us. Not with the changes they had made.
Time has made the pain of the situation easier and has helped me learn some much-needed lessons from the experience.
Many people told me how they felt that this would be one of the best things for me. Deep down I knew they were right but couldn’t see exactly how that was true, at least not right at first.
Today, 6 weeks after being let go from my job, I can firmly say that it was the best thing for my career.
I now work in an office with people who are entrepreneurial-minded, kind, and refrain from micromanaging me. They are supportive of my endeavors and genuinely want to see me succeed.
