Have you ever been let go from a job at the exact right time?

Leaving a job can be a stressful thing, but it doesn’t have to be. Sometimes the stars just align, and everything is handed to you on a silver platter. That’s what happened to this employee, who found themselves in an interesting situation. When you’re looking for a new job while you already have a job, it can be a delicate situation. You’re allowed to look for other opportunities, but you don’t necessarily want your current employer to know that you are. There is some amount of pantomime that has to go into this process. You put on a happy face at your current position, knowing that you’re secretly looking for ways out of there. But what happens if they find out? What happens if they figure out your little trick and then you’re landed in a supremely awkward conversation?
