Have you ever been unfortunate to be sacked from your job? What was the reason why they have you relived from your duty? Did you try to appeal your sack as something that was unjust or you accepted everything the way it was and moved on?
 
Being sacked from work can be an emotional trauma to anybody. It can cause shock, sadness, disappointment, and loss of self-esteem. I haven't experienced being sacked from work but I have a friend that was sacked from work because of what she didn't do and the company couldn't verify it. I know how she feels especially when she wasn't the culprit. I helped her with encouragement and support, we looked for another job and the latter was even better than the former job.

Being sacked from a job is not the end of the world, for as long as you have skill and potential, you can always be able to find another good job which might even pay you better than what you're used to earn from your previous workplace.
 
I have never been sacked before, but I have been laid off 3 times. Because work was slow, it's been 23 years since I last worked. I am on disability.

It's not about getting another job or having the skills and potential to get another job, it's about the feelings and emotions that will overwhelm the person in that moment of being sacked. It only take a strong person not to show the feelings out but it's really depressing to be sack from your working place especially when you did nothing.

I actually understand what you're trying to say but I always have a contingency plan in everything I do and I really hope other people do the same thing especially when it comes to their jobs.

Everybody ain't wired the same. Some people can stay a longer period of time wailing for their loss while people like you will just dust themselves immediately and forge ahead.

Nevertheless, they will be alright, it's just a matter of time.

As long as they are making effort to secure a new job, I believe that something will definitely pop up for them which is how things normally work for those we look for an opportunity.

I have been dsmissed before and that's when the company conducted restructuring. Despite facing a difficult situation I chose not to file any appeal to the decision.
 
My first job I had, I was let go. While I was sad at being let go at the time, I realize now they were doing it to get back at my husband.

Backstory.....I met my husband at my first job. My husband had found a better job with a company that he works for now. They wanted to get back at him for leaving so they let me go because they knew that my husband and I were a couple then (we were dating but not married quite yet).
 
No. I haven't.
However, I had to start over as I moved to another country and it was a nightmare.
 
It's a serious ache when you're about losing your job without having anything to fall back on immediately. Getting a new job isn't easy.
I have seen some people who have lost their job and then they fell into a new one within a day or two. I don't know how some people seem to be so lucky.

That's true! A company restructuring process forced management to dismiss me despite my excellent performance. It led me to seek other opportunities so I left. The difficult experience helped me realize how to bounce back from troubles and find myself.
