It's never a good experience when an employer lets you go, but what do you do after it happens? Can you turn it into something positive? Today Don discusses how you can turn termination from work into a positive, career-advancing experience.

[@thelonehiker4698]

Its really hard to stay positive when you are being treated unfairly

[@AdemirAlijagic]

People who treat you like this just don't deserve your time, nor your attention, nor your worries. I have been treated like shit by my previous boss and the best I can do now is to be happy, to thrive and work for my dreams. I wish you the best :)

[@Eg-jd9zt]

Ademir Alijagic exactly I went through this too and went through absolute hell for 14 months till they discarded me today after all my hard work and all my old employers I’m still close with. It was shocking. Their behavior says more about them than about you. They have put several people as “not good enough” in my position. They expect you to read minds it’s laughable. When I asked about what performance they were talking about it was an example of a time they wanted me to do something they never communicated and I would have no way of knowing, good riddens. I wish the next luck. They set people up to fail.

[@DEAN_23]

I was let go from my job today for apparantly "not being up to the standards expected from their employees", despite the fact that some of the things they expect wasn't made clear during my time there. It was the first time I was ever fired from a job, which kinda sucks, but that's okay because I tried my best, and it was their decision at the end of the day. I know that something better is on the horizon, so let's do this....

[@YumegakaMurakumo]

The whole "not being up to standards" is weasel words in my opinion. Those types of companies usually play favorites. lol Great attitude. Yes something better is always on the horizon.

[@overwhelmtoempowerment9974]

Yep for sure - something better is on the horizon for you. Hopefully by now you've landed something new.

[@Eg-jd9zt]

Mugaka Murakumo yes happened to me too for the first time ever today and it’s bs. I stuck up for myself bc of how I was being treated for 14 months and they told me I wasn’t a fit. Yea a fit for your abuse. lol. I had a past employer offer me a job last week again so maybe it’s a sign. I actually have a good relationship with most past employers to the point they’d hire me again, so their loss.

[@pedroavilez2003]

👍👍👍👍

[@AsusMemopad-us5lk]

Unfortunately, whether it was a "good" thing or not, is entirely dependent on whether something better is available. In the mean time, getting fired at all permanently taints a person in all future job searching. Recruiting processes all demand to know, "have you ever been fired from anything?" It's a stigma you can never erase. Because of that, it would be so much better to have proactively found that less toxic work environment already, and be the one to make the current toxic environment go away by your own choice.

@Ethan Stine is that really a reason to get fired...

[@AdemirAlijagic]

I was fired in early 2020 and instead of getting a new job, I decided to leave the corporate rat race and instead become an entrepreneur. I started selling my hobby illustrations on Instagram, and soon after I started teaching other people how to sell their passion projects online. Today I'm happily running my online business, set my own time, never worked harder, and never been happier! Getting fired was one of the best, if not THE best liberating things to happen to me, it made me zoom out and realize that there is a HUGE world out there with infinite possibilities to either waste or spend your life on. 'Getting fired' turned into 'getting set free'! It SUCKED at the start, and it will for you too, but you can choose to use it as a springboard for an amazingly better life if you let it! Good luck! 😊🙌

[@Jinx_1915]

Part of me feels like I'm going to be told that I'm fired when I walk in this upcoming Wednesday since I just walked out when they wanted to put me in a position that I have no experience with. They did it once and didn't teach me anything on how to do it so I was doing things wrong and was getting yelled at. They try to put me in the same position and as I said, I just walked without a word. I'm not trying to get yelled at for something, not my fault. If you want to put me in that position for a bit then at least teach me how to do it easier instead of me trying to teach myself and getting yelled at. If I do get fired though then it would be dumb because someone has done what I did already 5 times and somehow he is still working there. So, if I get fired just for doing it once then I'm pretty sure I smell bs but then again, I can care less because the people there are toxic self-entitled pricks anyway

[@izumoshiDE]

Back when I was living in the U.S. (I now live in Germany) I had worked at two jobs from the span of 3-5 months, my first job was at A&W. I think at a personal level that the place is good. However, management was a f-king mess. 10 out of 10 times, I had to actually and physically show up at the restaurant just to get my check and see my weeks schedule. Which has either 1 to 2 days of work or no days for me at all, which leads to low paying physical paychecks. Employees tended to be rude or didn't care at all. After 3 months, I went job hunting and got a job at pizza buffet. The place looked promising, it looked organized, they actually use an online app to send out schedules and send direct deposits. Which sounded perfect for me, they gave me my uniform and I was hired on the spot, left my job at A&W and began there. During my first month, things were okay, there was some physical demands but nothing to complain about. Then the manager was kind of a hot head. Known for tearing into employees if they dared to slack off for one bit or even slowed down for one bit. I got to work as a pizza maker for... 2 days? Then I got sent off to dishes, which isn't too bad... When it's not busy. But one thing about dishes is that. It's hard to keep up when dishes and stuff from the kitchen keeps coming in, even after closing time. I remember I had to stay until 11 or 12 at night, because of this and the Manager (Who was a lady in her late 40s or 50s) straight up just screamed and teared into me that I was not suited for this place and that I can't do anything else until I can clean before midnight. Then cut my hours into Saturdays and early mornings (Which the most busiest and always full of people from a 4-5 hour shift) and it was absolute hell. I remember that, it gave me depression and almost have gotten to the point of self-harm. But I was able to reconcile myself and do like I did at my first job. Look for another and leave that job, I went online and applied for another and got my final job at the U.S. which was a fast food/Pizza Joint: Dominos. I called up my manager at the time when I got hired and said that I was quitting, it felt really satisfying. Being able to cut something out of your life that wasn't doing any good and getting a job that actually treated you like a real human being. (7.25 pay for 5 hours of hellish dishes was not a good deal at all) This was the heartbreaking part. Working at Dominos, the place I really did thought was amazing. The employees were nice and I was able to work somewhat at my own pace. There was rushes but got them down hard. However I worked there for... About 8 or so months, then, my general manager at the time had hired this new general manager for the store I was working at, and she wasn't nice at first. She started off as demanding and at this dementor tone. This went on for about a week. Since I had her for practically the entire week, I reported her at my manager for what she was doing and how it was affecting my line of work. EVEN at times of telling her that I working on something else and that I couldn't do this spot quite yet. She never did take it in. My manger said that he would talk to her and see how he could work it out. I did get somewhat of a lecture from her some days later. But if anything, she toned down a bit and got promoted as general manager. Things were great. But then, one day. I came in to work, I was told to come sit with them. There was some talk about how employees I was working with sent in complaints that I was "inappropriate touching". Mind you, I was not a pervert by any means. I do not like being touched myself, especially by anyone else. And that. The best course of action. Was to let me go, or fire me by other terms. This was a place that I actually didn't mind going to. I liked being able to chat to my employees and still have fun through out the shift. And they let me go for no reason? After a bit of a fight, some days later. I got a call back from my general manager. He went into actual detail of why I was fired, which was because I made a compliant towards the new general manager. And they deiced that letting me go would fix that situation. All because I stepped up for myself? I. Was. Pissed. I actually did think about taking them to court because of that. But the franchise owner instead just gave me a workers comp and told me just to head somewhere else and to use him as a reference. After that, I never got another job from that city I used to live in. I just focused on my education and graduated and deiced to move back to my home country (Which was Germany!) I now got a job working as a freelancer for other companies and I am doing well, I am currently majoring in Cyber Security and planning on working in high paying company, I live with my grandparents and actually had made enough to where I could. Get my own place but rather chose to stay and keep saving. Thanks or Danke for reading or listing to my story. Apologies for some misspelling's or off punctuation.

Great video, I’m 23 and I work in healthcare/ office setting. I don’t know how to fully react or maneuver the office in a politically correct way so what I do is I hop on youtube/google and research situations I am going through so that I can handle them correctly. I was recently let go from an employer after 3 months of temp and then 1 month permanent because I was respectfully sticking up for myself when I was being bullied and talking to my manager about it. It’s nice to know that when I was fired I ddi the right thing.

[@Avoid_Low_Frequency]

Thank goodness I have followed all 3 suggestions. I hope the company I was fired from affords me the same courtesy and respect of not badmouthing me as I have done for them.

[@nicolehampton4154]

I was fired Friday. Too stunned and smarting a bit there, I'm going to write my supervisor a letter thanking him for the nice things that happened to me this last year. I need positive closure. I hope all turned out well for you.

[@aj__love5919]

The thing is when you get fired after the first day it makes 0 sense because I did the 2 task they told me to do and I received great compliments ? Their loss because I was meant to work in a better place🙌🏼 I followed your tips and sent the boss an email expressing my gratitude even working for a day even though I felt all kinds of emotions. You just have to have faith in your own capabilities👏🏼!

[@mariecook622]

This was solid good information. I wish I saw this yesterday. I was let go after working so hard and never coached and barely trained. However I did write an email to them which after watching this video, I may have refrained from mentioning a few things. My email was very poignant, assertive and I championed myself in a self dignifying way. I felt very let down but your words will help me at least speak to this experience with more positivity. Tku

[@allkindsamusicchick]

Do not fret, Marie. I believe we can be let go for many reasons, and not because we are poor performers. Some will be dying for you to get booted out the door....because you make them....look bad. There are many scenarios. I hope you've found a safe and satisfying space to work in.

[@ngugi_irene]

😅 you and me. I was fired just this week. I received an email and didn't know how to respond coz at first I was in a shock. I'm the kind that process my thoughts before speaking up but my colleagues had adviced that by keeping quiet, I looked guilty of all allegations made up on me. So I sent an email that spoke my mind and I would say it wasn't very kind. Maybe I'll do a follow up mail to thank them for the opportunity and redeem my not so good talks. Meanwhile I'm locked in the house and don't know what to do with all the time in my hands. May some opportunity locate me soon 🙏. It's well with my heart.

very hard to stay positive and not be defensive when no reason is given. I think more managers actually don't care as much as you think. I've been put in a position were I have to request a reason - if feels like I've done something illegal. I actually learned nothing of significance but I do take your point that it is important to be be dignified and express gratitude

[@ColdComp]

This is great advice, although it is very hard to stay positive. It’s so easy to let your emotions get out of control and say something you might regret later.. when this happened to me, I literally smiled the whole time, made no excuses, said a lot of “oh I completely understand”, cracked a few jokes and even shook a few hands. During this meeting, the HR person was literally shaking from anxiety and I felt it was up to me to make this a more comfortable situation. It’s hard to get fired, but also hard to fire someone. I like my job, but… shit happens!!

I like this method of thinking. You are a business and the company is the customer. Treat yourself like a business always.

Part of me feels like I'm going to be told that I'm fired when I walk in this upcoming Wednesday since I just walked out when they wanted to put me in a position that I have no experience with. They did it once and didn't teach me anything on how to do it so I was doing things wrong and was getting yelled at. They try to put me in the same position and as I said, I just walked without a word. I'm not trying to get yelled at for something, not my fault. If you want to put me in that position for a bit then at least teach me how to do it easier instead of me trying to teach myself and getting yelled at. If I do get fired though then it would be dumb because someone has done what I did already 5 times and somehow he is still working there. So, if I get fired just for doing it once then I'm pretty sure I smell bs
