This may not help you at all, but I've been fired 3 times in thirty years of working. Each time, I was really ill-suited for the job and I was planning or contemplating leaving it. Each time, I found something better. I firmly believe that getting fired really meant that I was supposed to be going down a different path. And I did. For of those jobs, if I hadn't been fired I never would have met my wife.

You know that whole window shut, door open truism? It does really work. There may be all kinds of opportunities ahead because you've disconnected from this job that may have been holding you back.
Pretty much the same goes for me, except I don't think I've ever met LMTL's wife But getting fired has ALWAYS, every time, been the best thing that ever happened to me. First time it happened, my next job I doubled my salary. True, I was woefully underpaid at the previous job, but still! So... welcome to the club.
Thanks for this!
