[quote=julie73]I was fired from my job and it completely took me by surprise. I had never been fired before and looking back now, I should've seen it coming. My new boss was inexperienced, yet had great support and promise from higher up in the company. I kept her out of trouble and helped her along for the first 6 months. Soon after, she started to nitpick and criticize me in front of other employees. I made complaints about her, but unfortunately they were only unofficial, so all I ever got was, "Be patient with her...she's new and still learning." One day I was called in and told that I wasn't performing to expectationsand was unprofessional... boom...I was fired.

I was devastated and didn't get a new job for quite a while. I was doubting my abilities and my self worth plunged. I was just beginning to recover from my divorce when this happened and felt even worse as a mom.

As time has gone onward, I have a great job now and I have slowly regained my confidence and my realization that it was not about my ability and skill. I still get a bit nervous sometimes at work and wonder if I'm getting the sudden boot, but it's just my paranoia. [/quote]
