How I got fired from my job, and what I learned

I'm curious: what issues do you see with being honest about the ways that you failed, and how you're addressing them? I don't think it shows a lack of a filter, I think it shows an honesty and an awareness of my issues, and what I need to do to fix them.

I'm not particularly embarrassed by this article -- although it was hard to write -- and neither is the company that fired me (as they helped me write it). Although I do understand if you don't want to hire me after reading this.

I think it would be idea for you to state that they approved the post of the article.

I wrote at the bottom that they helped me write it. I literally showed early drafts of this to the guy that hired and fired me, and he urged me to be even more candid than I was originally. But then again, he has no problem admitting his own shortcomings either. For example:
