I got hired as a tech artist at a gaming company 10 months ago and for a while I thought I was on top of the world because I was making 55k a year. However that all came crashing down yesterday when I returned from my family vacation and was told right before clocking out time that I was getting the pink slip. No warning, NOTHING.
I'll admit I was devastated and shocked for a few hours, but now I realize that I technically have all the free time in the world to get back to getting my life back on the fastlane. I got sidetracked by the slowlane for a while and forgot about what I really wanted in life. I decided that I was sick of making someone else rich. (I got to watch my CEO arrive to work every morning with his wife in a limo.)
My question to you guys is, have you ever gotten fired? How did you get over it and how long did it take? Also, did you just ended up getting another gig or is that when you finally started your own biz?
