Yes, when I was young I was technically laid off when my position was no longer needed. But it shook my confidence as I felt like it was my fault and maybe I could have been kept on and moved into some other role. For a long time I blamed myself for having screwed up in some way, but looking back, I'm not sure there's anything I could have done. And over time things worked out better for me, so while it was a bitter experience, it didn't damage me permanently.

I’m sure there was nothing you could have done but I can see where it impacted your confidence at the time.
Too many times to count until I finally got my diagnosis as ADHD.
Been in my current job ever since.

I’m glad you figured that out and got the treatment you need that’s not easy!
Yeah. At the pet food store because I wasn’t “cut out for management” At the hospital because with a supervisor who said I was wrong (when i wasn’t) and proved them wrong, at another hospital for “unauthorized overtime”, the running theme is that I don’t realy bow down to the company overlords and I’m happy to make it known.

Love when we can prove them wrong !!!

Yep.

Right everything really does happen for a reason
Yeah, but it was in high school when I was let go over a true miscommunication from a small retail boutique that I worked at. It was an eye opening experience that you could get fired from an honest miscommunication so I've played it a lot safer since then and always tried to over communicate to avoid the same thing
