Ten Things To Do If You Get FIRED

It's the economy, stupid!
First, tell others that you have lost your job. This is due to no fault of yours, but due to larger factors beyond your control.
Secondly, write to your bank asking for a reprieve on loans for six months.
Third, Make a list of other expenses where you can save money and implement the savings plan.
Fourth, see a psychologist when needed. Don't let the pressure build.
Fifth, take it lightly on friends and family. Some people may not be entirely cooperative, but learn to ignore criticisms.
Sixth, ask yourself what will make you happy in life. Pursue the goals dear to you.
Seventh, draw up a renewed goals list.
Eighth, go on a holiday. Now that you have some time, seek the greater pleasures of life with family and friends.
Ninth, find time to help those who are in need. You can create a social group with other people who were handed pink slips with you.
Lastly, try for a new job on your terms. You don't have to rush. You need to get a job which gives you pleasure and dignity, as much as money.
