One day I got fired over what I think was office politics. I had to pack up all my belongings from my desk in a cardboard box. 

Although I was kicked out, I feel like the whole experience made me a fighter. 

If I ever got a chance to tell my boss what I really think, this is what I would say. I have to confess when you fired me you inspired me. You made me go from “Fired to Inspired” the way I imagine Emmy Award Winning Talk Show Host, Tamron Hall got inspired when I heard she experienced being fired in her own life. 

You and all the office politics tried to break me but it all made me stronger. I have become even more of a fighter in life.  I think the whole experience gives me new meaning and inspiration for the empowerment of women in inclusive spaces, diverse workplaces, and transformational spaces. 

Plus the petty office clique culture you perpetuated, only inspires me even more to focus on more important goals like advocating for not only the rights of other people like differently-abled individuals but to be able to collaborate with others on the improvement of workplace environments into inclusive workspaces with differently-abled tools for everyone like Computer Accessibility technology designed for everyone including individuals with disabilities or different impairments and conditions. Plus creating stress-free sensory rooms for adults with neurodiverse needs at work to take breaks and socialize with neurotypical coworkers.

 

I would tell my boss that I am so grateful for being fired because I know that there is a bigger purpose for my skills and my talents that goes beyond any small, petty issues or office politics.
