sneedman, this is a learning experience. Next time, say "this is McDonalds, can I take your order?" rather than ranting about circumcision

No, but I've been laid off. It's like winning the lottery. I got a huge severance and a pay bump at my next job
Jump in the discussion.

I once got something similar with even less effort. They were replacing my department with overseas workers and a nice severance was given to ensure no one would jump ship while the new guys were trained. However the shift leads, which I was one of, got to keep our job as they needed some people with experience to herd the barely qualified replacements so they didn't oopsie a key database or system cluster.
We ended up getting the severance as well and a nice pay adjustment within the next year because the transition went as poorly as expected and all my fellow leads weren't shy about the fact they were looking elsewhere.

It always goes poorly. With jeets, you get what you pay for

Not even the jeets. My company went overseas to save money but then still underpaid for the regions they were hiring out of to save even more. So we ended up with two types of employees.
1. Analysts who didn't even have a basic grasp of elementary concepts
2. Analysts with experience that found new jobs within 3 months of starting
It's even worse now, but myself and my former colleagues (and manager) bailed on that department awhile ago.

Getting fired is a (potential) mark on your work history. Getting laid off isn't.

Going for a new job, "I was made redundant" explains why you left your last job. "I was fired" is a signal that maybe you're trouble or not able to do the job. If you do get fired, try and spin it as being laid off or some other reason (e.g. contract ended and wasn't renewed) to avoid that.

of course but thats just what people say not reality.

Oh sure, but maybe some people are inexperienced enough they would be honest about "I got fired" and then they wonder why they never got called back after the interview. Nobody ever did all the wonderful things on their CV, either. You have to strike a balance between "polish it up" and "don't be so ridiculous that the interviewer has to call you a liar".

I got fired for just being a general r-slur at work, I did a bunch of drugs and was going psychotic. They put me on medical leave for a few weeks until I saw a psychiatrist and after they decided I was too unhinged to keep around they paid me another 10 weeks pay to sign a form saying I was quitting; so legally I didn't get fired.
The next job their tech lead knew my old tech lead personally and reached out and he gave me a good recommendation. 9 months later I did the same thing where I did a bunch of drugs and went crazy, this time they fired me immediately.
I've had my current job for 4 years and I work with 2 people from the first job

What were you taking?

A lot of DMT, nothing else, I'd done acid pretty often before that but had no issues until I was vaping 1 gram of DMT in a day.

Nope. I've been through three restructures in three different companies and got through them all.
The key is simply being more competent than average. Or even just be lazy 90% of the time but every now and again pull some amazing forward-thinking change out of the bag that leaves everyone else looking like idiots just treading water.

It's not easy to fire someome here except for gross incompetence or willful misconduct. There are lots of hoops to jump through first.
Most people are offered the chance to resign, and they usually take it.
I tend to be good at my job, so I've never been subject to that.

I was a consultant doing IT work and told a CEO to quit browsing hookers and porn because he released a worm on the network. I was banned from the building. It effectively fired me.
My company gave me a small package including unemployment. I was laid off early spring and found a job the next fall so I got a nice vacation. Later the CEO threatened an employee he was banging, did a small stint in county, his wife divorced him, and the company got sold to a competitor.
Theres a news article of the CEO crying while in court. If im having a bad day i look it up for a good laugh.
