If an employer has decided to fire you, then you’ve not only failed at your job, you’ve failed as a human being.
Damn, that's a downright toxic attitude. I've never been fired, but nobody should consider their job a measure of their worth as a human being.

- harryh 11y agoWhy not? My job isn't my only worth as a human being, but it's certainly a pretty big portion of it. I spend approximately 25% of my time working. If I'm not accomplishing something meaningful in those hours, then something is definitely wrong.
- kasey_junk 11y agoBecause firing decisions get made all the time absent details about the human behind it. I was there when a team that was better at their job than another one at every measure was let go because of their lease terms.
- harryh 11y agoOh I agree with you about firing. It's a fuzzy measure of your job performance for sure. I've been fired before. Had something to do with me, something to do with them. Was what it was. My point was more responding to imgabe saying "nobody should consider their job a measure of their worth as a human being." I think work matters.
