THIS!!!  Getting over that was the hardest part for me.  Just before I was laid off, I was told that I would never make it in that organization and that I didn't have what it took to get to the next level.  It was soul crushing and it took me a really long time to move past that.  How I did it?  I connected with former co-workers and bosses who thought very highly of me and sought out the validation that I needed to assure myself that I wasn't a complete loser.  I cried for a long time but I also refused to let that defeat me. [/quote]

I got pushed out the door at my previous company. They also told me that I would never get promoted because I didn't have what it took to be successful. This really fucked with me for a long, long time, even into my current job. It's one of the most cruel things to tell an employee. If you honestly think an employee doesn't have what it takes to be successful at your company then fucking FIRE them and find someone else.[/quote]
