I was just on the phone with a television reporter who is in the process of getting fired. It’s not that she has done anything wrong, it’s just that she probably makes too much money and management wants to bring in “new blood” (i.e. less expensive). Anyway, I took the call, expecting to hear all about how miserable it was, and how hateful she felt toward her employers. Instead, the overriding message was “even though the situation is bad, I’m sure it’s meant to propel me into a better and more lucrative position somewhere else.” Literally, that’s what she said. Isn’t it amazing how some people would consider a car bomb in a situation like this (who, me?) while others look at the bright side? I’m learning......
