It's my responsibility not to interfere and that is my fault for exactly how my company ended up. Ending2: Anger and tears are both acceptable to cry about. [title] Remember that although it is not your fault that you got fired you still made time to talk to the person who fired you so long as you still have your job. Ending3: Although it can be embarrassing to talk about this sort of thing so soon after being fired, it's worth it as something you can deal with after the fact. [substeps] Imagine you have to ask someone out for a date, after all, and they say no. Ending4: [title] Think about this in the right way. [step] Your first impulse might be to assume you're a bad employee, a bad person or a complete failure, but this is just the panic talking.
