Snatch up a few recruiters to look for your gigs and use the off time to chill out and enjoy the peace.

What reason was given for your termination?

Were you fired for a behavioral issue or let go due to a loss of an account etc?

No. You should definitely get severance. That’s BS! Smaller agency?
