at this point in my life, i would feel relief. if there was severance to go with it i would feel joy. but I know not everyone is in the same financial position so yeah, it can be scary and stressful
I, age 63, was fired in December. I was immediately furious, humiliated, embarrassed, furious again, scared, worried, furious again, dazed, upset, and lost. Four months later, I am calm, stress-free, relaxed,
and RETIRED. I do not miss work one bit.
Yes that’s me I'm
Not mad
Happened Monday. Based on energy and vibes I felt this was coming since mid March. I was upset and don’t feel like I was given a chance to correct what was a misunderstanding. But I also refuse to let the company deplete me anymore than dealing with the entitled customers and callers already had done. I’m figuring it out. And hoping it all works out for the better.
It will work out.
Don’t have to imagine. Happened 3 weeks ago. Ironically, an hour before it happened I was trying to figure out how I was going to hang in there until I could retire in 3 years. First, was disbelief and fear. Next came shame. But within a few days it was relief. i should have left sooner, but so close to retirement, I couldn’t kick myself out of my uncomfortable, comfort zone.
Yes me to 3 years to retire and this happens
I literally bawled, afraid of the unknown and not being able to pay my bills.
Rising Star
I imagine I would feel super stressed. I’m one of those people that prefer to have a new job lined up before leaving the current one.
Fear, then probably relief.
Happened back in December. I was scared mad at them, mad at myself, panicked. I got a job offer 6 days later. I’m still somewhat resentful towards them but know that everything happens for a reason.
6 days is great! It took me almost 3 months and ended up taking a lower paying job.
I've been fed that line of gobbledygook before. I replied with, "Just what is 'your culture,' and what do you think mine is?" Of course, there was no answer, just a quick "Thank you for your time and your interest in this company."
Happened to me this past December (my last day was exactly 3 weeks before Christmas - nice timing). First emotion was disbelief, since I had no idea it coming, then fear about how we were going to make it through the holidays without it being completely ruined for the kids. After the 1st of the year, it was shame, stress, frustration, hopelessness. Starting to feel a little hopeful, but we'll see how long that lasts.
I was upset but relieved at the same time because the work environment was extremely toxic. Sincerely this happened almost w months ago I am still looking for a job. It's very frustrating. I am about 3 years from retirement but I want to work longer than that.
From recent experience, fear of the unknown, how to pay my bills, and trying to find a job in this economy. Shame and panic were not far behind.
You got this. Keep pushing through.
Fear and bewilderment
Relief then stress
Relief but then I was totally scammed.. on commission
😬
All the above feelings!
Big relief laid off from farmers worst job I ever had
I felt such a sense of relief. It all unfolded about two months ago, and honestly, I hated how they treated me at first. But in hindsight, it will turn out to be for the best—it will push me toward something better.
I literally just got released from the insurance company I was working for yesterday and was in training and they proclaim it was a contracting issue from my other contracts that would not release me..
