I would rather be fired than fire somebody. I have been laid off and I have had to lay people off. I have not had to fire someone for cause.

I was fired recently for poor performance. It's demoralizing. Honestly, the hardest part, has been the emotional toll, I'm embarrassed to tell people, I feel like a failure and that I'm a bad worker and no one will ever hire me again. It took me about a month before I could stop crying. I know I'll get through it and find another job etc. eventually it will be a learning experience and I will grow from it and hopefully help others going through the same.
