20+ Employees who got fired unexpectedly: 'His cunning plan didn’t work, and the company folded in under a year'

An unexpected firing can really dampen your spirits. You go from having a job one day to suddenly having nothing to do but mope around your house and start applying for new jobs. And as we all know, applying for jobs is basically a full-time job in itself. So there you are, feeling your worst, dressed in your sweatpants and eating snacks, applying to job after job after job. 

Still, sometimes being fired is a blessing in disguise. Though it rarely feels that way at the time, you might benefit from the fresh start, not to mention the potential for a salary boost. Even though the interview process can be frightening, there's always the chance you'll love your new bosses and coworkers. And who knows, maybe you'll even end up with a dental plan or a 401k. Dream big!
