[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got into an unexpected argument out of nowhere with my boss today on a conference call with our team. I said something fairly innocuous, or at least I thought so, and he went off the handle, started screaming, and took me off the project. I didn't argue back but I admit that I removed myself from the call. I did so because I was concerned that I would start arguing with him for real.[b] It was one of those moments where I got very angry very fast[/b] and knew that I needed to exit the situation.

He has a tendency to blow up irrationally over nothing and be very emotional. I am usually good at avoiding the minefield but today I completely failed. So, I think he's going to fire me.

I need to deal with this anxiety somehow. I have a DH with a stable job and we have an emergency fund. Still, it feels awful. But, on the other hand, maybe I do need to move on and this is a good push.

Any pointers on the emotional impact of a firing?[/quote]

You got very angry very fast but your BOSS is the one tends to blow up?

As to anxiety, it’s out of your control now and you will do what you need to do. But you don’t yet know what will happen so try not to dwell on what you did, just how you’ll handle similar situations in the future. [/quote]
