Truth be told, I was actually fired. I disliked the job so much that my performance suffered and they gave me the boot without much notice - You're completely expendable in those environments. I relate to this post because I know the feeling of despising your job so much yet being too afraid to walk away and face uncertainty.
Ironically, getting fired was the motivation I needed - and I'm much better off because of it.
Wow. What do you do now?
