The upside to being fired.

Normally people are gutted when they've been fired, but I couldn't be happier. The only downside is that I now have not steady source of income. My ex-boss is a sleazebag who thought that my refusal to do something incredibly hypocritical was an act of insubordination. it's not like he wanted me to do it for any good reason except that it would have helped him make a substantial amount of money, of which I would have gotten absolutely none (i.e. there was zero incentive). If you want your employees to do something morally corrupt, you better make sure that they know that there's something in it for them. Naturally, I didn't refuse without an ace up my sleeve, because I have an interview for another job on Monday. So crazy, yes, but crazy like a fox, as the old saying goes.
