    Despite knowing that this happens to people all the time -- and increasingly so in these times -- it always feels like you're the one being singled out for unfair treatment. Thanks for your lens and its creative and humorous approach to helping people in this situation to look on the bright side and to not feel so alone.

    I agree that humor is a good way to deal with this sometimes. That is the reason behind this cartoon: http://www.webdonuts.com/2009/06/pink-slips/

    Nice lens! I featured it on a lens I am building today on my personal experiences with job loss.

    Yup, I would send this to anyone caught in the current economical downsizing frenzy. A few laughs can't hurt, and they just might find that bit of inspiration that makes being fired the best thing that ever happened to them.

    I think that when you get fired the first thing you need to do is fire up the tube and watch The Apprentice where millionaires in their own right are fired for not being good enough. Let's you know the world flows and ebbs and we are still what we are, which in most cases is brilliant -- but the right people haven't seen it yet! Just remember, good things always come when we look for them. You can check out my comments on what Trump's "failures" could have done to maybe stay on a little longer. :) The Apprentice Review

    I worked for one company 7 times, the 3rd time I was fired. Each time I worked there I was perceived differently by management and coworkers. I hadn't changed; I was the same guy when fast tracked or fired, when invited to parties or shunned. My true value had nothing to do with their actions.

    My comment is if you're fired, this lens is a great place to stop by! I love it. I'm a big believer in looking for humor wherever you can. I gave it 5 stars and added it to my lensroll for Career Change. Great job!
