Sitting in his office was someone from the HR department, she was very nervous.
As I sat down at the table with the vice president and the woman with HR, she started reading my termination of employment paper with a tremble in her voice.
When she was done talking, the VP went back to my desk and got my things, then escorted me out of the door.
So there I was standing outside of the door. I was shocked, confused, maybe even a little hurt.
I remember the drive home feeling so long. “How could they just fire me after working for them for so long?” I thought.
Turns out, all they have to do is a bit of “restructuring” and you’re gone.
After a few days of processing what happened and trying to figure out what I should do next, I decided that this would be the perfect time to start my own landscaping business like I had wanted.
