[quote=Anonymous]My husband was fired from a job 4 years ago.  He violated a policy that lots of other people at the firm also violated (don't want to go into details, but basically on the same level as going on facebook or spotify at work, which was against the company technology policy) and turns out the firm was looking for an excuse to get rid of him because he was trying to negotiate a raise and they decided to just get someone newer/cheaper.  He thought he was going into a meeting to discuss a raise and instead he was fired -- told to pack his things and leave.

It was awful.  Job searching was not great.  He was able to reach out to a few people from the former job who agreed to be his references and provide positive recommendations and vague answers for why he left.  He wasn't able to be too picky for the next job after that one, but he eventually landed somewhere that was a good fit.

It was very rough on our marriage though.  I think I will always live in fear of him being fired again.[/quote]
