I feel that. It wasn't getting laid off but some time ago I experienced a set of let's call them "professional betrayals" that, from a certain perspective, I've never really recovered from (because I'm no longer really capable of caring that much about my job), but from another - and perhaps healthier - perspective have been the making of me (because I'm no longer really capable of caring that much about my job). Don't get me wrong: I still work hard and do a good job, and even take pride in doing that good job, but it's nowhere near as tied to how I see myself - to who I am - and I'm much the happier for it. I've also become more successful. Honestly, I think giving fewer fucks has proven to be the best thing that happened to my once stalled career.
