'Everyone had to reapply': 20+ Workers share the jobs they were glad to be fired from

Certain things in life bring with them a certain finality… Like getting fired, signing up for a mortgage, or having kids. But it's important to note that they also bring with them opportunity... Opportunity for new pathways and new experiences—even if those experiences are more mundane than the ones that came before. The reality is that when one door closes, another one opens, and you'll likely find that you end up in the right place eventually, even if you really wish that that initial door hadn't closed behind you… Leaving you alone in a dark room. In that moment, it's easy to think that the whole world is crashing down and there can't possibly be anything else ahead, but all it takes is a little light peaking under that next door to give you the hope that there is something else out there… And that will lead you to a better place.

These workers shared their experiences with those moments. Those moments where they were fired (or prematurely left) their places of work, only to find themselves better off in the long run.
