Have you ever been fired from a job?

Once. I was actually offered a promotion, but had to decline due to where I was in my life at the time. They hired outside of the company and she became my new boss. She was very inexperienced, but we all have to learn somehow, so I was her "mentor" while she was settling into her new position. After 6 months, she began to nitpick me and would tell me I was doing things incorrectly or not completing my job (which was not true), but still lied about me. I complained about her further up the ladder, but was told to "just be patient with her." Eventually she had enough documentation to have me fired. What really hurt me so much about that, was that she almost gloated and looked smug when I walked out.
