My Being Fired/Laid Off Horror Stories

So I saw a tweet in my stream a couple of days ago that got me thinking a bit about my own job history, especially in tech. First “real” job. Mostly research. Acted as office receptionist. I was replaced by a bell. I made the bell business cards on my last day. https://t.co/Jztrw4kEFG — emily freeman 🇺🇸🇺🇦 (@editingemily) June 15, 2022 For the most part, every job I’ve ever left has been on my own terms. It might be for a better opportunity. It might be because I was fed up with the state of the company I was working at. But almost always I left when I decided it was time to go…. with 4 exceptions.
