Employee gets back from work trip only to find out their position became redundant due to restructuring, faces termination from dream job: ‘I thought I had finally made it’

Getting to do what you always wanted to, ever since you were a little kid, is something very few people can claim they achieved. Think about it, how many people do you know who can actually say they work in their 'dream job'? 

If one does manage to work in their dream job, they might have to work extra hard to keep a firm hand on it. You never know when will be the day your boss might get tired of you, and losing a job you actually love is a lot harder than losing a job you couldn't care less about. Unfortunately, sometimes even though you do your best, things don't work out the way you wanted them to, and you lose what you really cared about, like that dream job. All one can do when that happens is keep going.

This Reddit story is both a cautionary tale and maybe something to aspire to, we'll let you decide what you take away from it as you scroll down and read it. After you are done, click here for a story of a boss who demanded their employee rewrite their job description, but the employee refused.
