well forget my smooth move

That sucks. But maybe getting fired from a lousy company is a good thing in the end.

Problem is, I tend to agree with you that there are no good companies, at least none of the big ones. Successful companies are just like rich billionaires – nobody gets there by being nice, generous and caring. No exceptions, all big corporations & billionaires got there by winning at the expense of others, by selfishly prioritizing their own profits over any unbusinesslike ideals like kindness. So you can expect all of them to treat you like shit when push comes to shove.

That’s one of the main reasons I refuse to work for someone else. I can’t trust anyone, least of all the successful ones in business. So I remain self employed, slowly drowning because I myself don’t have a shits worth of business sense or the cutthroat attitude to win. Fucked either way.
