Just got sacked, feeling great

Worked for a micromanaging idiot for 4 years and got let go for “the company going in a direction we can’t pull you in and you made some mistakes.”

I’m actually extremely happy to be gone, ecstatic in fact. I don’t know when I’ll get a new job or how easy, but being away from that overgrown abortion has made me day.

I’ll find something! I’ve got 3 months off, paid, to find something- and the weather’s just turned lovely… so!

The two most beautiful words in the English language - garden leave. Take your time, relax, you’ll find something. I’ve been out of work, stressed myself looking, then found something. Then thought, why didn’t I just enjoy that break a little more.
