I was fired from my executive job yesterday. It feels really bad. I poured everything I had into the company and to just be dismissed is a feeling I am unfamiliar with. I know I was let go for not just going with the flow. I was passionate about the issues surrounding the organizations ability to get anything accomplished in a timely manner. I think that was seen as too much for the c suite to handle. Meanwhile underperformers are kept and elevated to top positions because they are more agreeable.

I am finding it hard to deal with the rejection and sort out my emotions. Part of me thinks it's for the best but the other part thinks I could've done more.

Does anyone have a similar experience and can share?
