‘How Do I Get Past My Insecurity at Work After Being Fired?’

By Kimberly Brown

Hi Kimberly,

A few months before the pandemic started, I was fired from a job I had been very successful in for several years. The reason was not performance related — my work was highly regarded throughout the company — it was political. I definitely made mistakes, but thought I had recovered, so it came as a shock.

I did a good job rebounding. I got a career coach and tried independent consulting, including a six-month contract job with a top company. Several of my clients wanted me to join their companies full time. During the Great Resignation, my then-boyfriend and I both took breaks from full-time work. I worked on a novel, we got married, and I focused on things other than my career. When I decided to go back to work, I landed a good job at a reputable company in my field relatively quickly. So it’s been a bit of a shock to find I’m having serious issues with fear and insecurity at my current job related to getting fired almost three years ago.
