A fundamental lesson on being fired: Never lie about it. People will know what you're saying is a cover-up for how you really feel - embarrassed, discouraged, and afraid.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You never ask why you've been fired because if you do, they're liable to tell you.
I don't even like firing people. I don't think I've ever said, 'You're fired' to anybody.
Getting fired was always a big deal to me. It's a bit like having someone break up with you.
At the end of the day, you have a job to do, and if you don't do your job, you're going to get fired. You just have to kind of put your head down and do it.
I've been fired five times for having a bad attitude.
There's nothing wrong with being fired.
I have had hundreds of people work for me over the years, and I don't think I ever fired anybody.
I've never been fired in my life. From anything. I've never failed at anything I've tried.
'You're fired' was not a part of the deal. And when I went into the first board room, the very first one, I'm looking at these people, and I had to fire somebody, but we never thought in terms of the expression 'You're fired.'
I'm not afraid of being fired, and I'm gonna speak my mind.
