However, there is also an undeniable feeling of righteous indignation and freedom that comes with being fired. It really is the most liberating experience you can have; not only are you justifiably enraged and terribly misunderstood, but suddenly your days are wide open. You don’t usually get fired when you’re on a roll, it’s when you’ve been banging your head against something for a year and have grown to hate it. To be able to walk away from it at that point, and with a sense of righteousness, is sort of a gift.
