[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess this has happened to me a fair number of times.

First time was from BigLaw - they gave me three months to find something else. I found something else that I liked a lot better. It could have been characterized as a layoff but it really wasn't - I just was really checked out from the job, and it showed.

I had a few bad fit jobs after that where I found new jobs before I got let go, but I'm pretty sure I would have been let go if I hadn't moved on myself.

Most recently, I took a fancy sounding job at a nonprofit - where it just was a terrible fit. They gave me a good title but the work was NOT at that level - also, I had serious issues with the mission, it turned out.

And I just did not get along with the person I was working with most closely. I wouldn't say I was "fired" because it was a lot friendlier than that - but I hung out my own shingle after that and was self-employed for a few (very happy) years. Then got recruited into my current job - they were one of my consulting clients - which I've been at for almost a year. Gotten one promotion so far - and so far so good. It's me, so I am always sort of looking out for what might be next - but I'm pretty happy here right now, anyway!

Is it just me, or does your story kind of sound like those reviewers on recipe websites where they give a recipe a 5-star rating (“Loved! Perfect dinner!”) except then they elaborate that they changed like six different thjngs and it wasn’t even the same recipe anymore!

Dude! OP asked if anyone has gotten fired. You said it’s happened to you a number of times. And then you proceeded to detail different job scenarios in which you were not fired. So weird.[/quote]
