If you’ve never been fired from a job, you’ve never really worked for a living.

“””If you’ve never been fired from a job, you’ve never really worked for a living.”””

I once quit a job because the boss and I didn’t agree. In fifteen minutes, I had another job paying the same pay ant another company where I became the highest paid person. Does it count as getting fired if you fire yourself?

I was born in 1964, got my first job with a W2 in 1980 (McDonalds) and have never been either unemployed or fired - despite earning a double-major baccalaureate and a PhD. Yes. I worked throughout my undergraduate career and was a paid graduate researcher, so worked through my schooling. Have I never really worked?

I’ve never been fired from a job and I did the same thing for 44 years (programmer). I retired and was even asked to come back.

Firings are part of the process to success. Some of your own making and some not but it is humbling yet gives you the drive for the next venture. Success takes failures so you know what not to do next.
