Job loss ... Prayers needed

agape1cor813 · February 2012

I got fired today. We will be OK as far as money is concerned, but this is still a fairly big blow to H and I. The worst thing is that they said I had not improved enough to meet their standards when there was no one there to teach me. I feel like I was set up to fail.

I am relatively at peace about it, but I'm also mad at the way it happened and the lack of support I felt there. I know it's probably for the best, but I also know that this is not an attitude that I can maintain for very long.

I could use some prayers, please.

Aw, I'm sorry! I remember you posting about how much you disliked this job not too long ago. It's probably for the best, but I know it's still upsetting the way it happened. I'll be praying for you. *hugs*

Sorry to hear this but as Amanda said, I remember that you were struggling a bit and now this is an answer to help you move on.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask of imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen" Ephesians 4:20-21

I believe that God has good things in store for you. Hugs and prayers are being sent your way.

I've been fired like this as well back in November... I understand how you feel. What line of work is it if you dont mind me asking ? I am praying for you , I myself took about 2 months off and was working part-time until I found another full-time job. It allowed me to not be lazy and to kinda get my head on straight again after that type of loss.
I started my new job last week. Seems to be going ok , a few lil quirks like anywhere else but over all I'm hoping I dont run into the same problems.. Just ask questions and or help at the next place even if they seem stupid etc. That's what I've been doing just to kinda cover my butt etc...

I'm so sorry to hear this. The same thing happened to be when DH and I had just started dating. I was miserable at my job, and I was just expected to teach myself everything and then my boss got frustrated that I wasn't learning quickly enough. I was so scared when I got let go, but it really was a blessing in disguise. I found a great new job not long after with a great boss and team.

I'll be praying for you that the doors will open up with a much better opportunity for you. Keep us posted on how things are going.

They made it sound more like they were cutting back on positions because it was the fall of 2008 when the economy was tanking and a ton of people were being let go. This is why I was even more scared because I thought it would be impossible to find a new job in a tanking economy. Looking back, I'm pretty sure they got rid of me because I wasn't learning fast enough (no surprise when there was no one to teach me anything, plus they expected me to basically be IT and fix everyone's computer problems which is hilarious because I'm not tech savvy AT ALL). It really was a blessing in disguise, and I found a better job within a month thankfully with a great boss who really appreciated me and was so sad when DH and I moved down to FL and I had to quit.
