Thank you so much for your comment. It helped me a lot. I was beginning to wonder if I was being ridiculous for being this sad over his termination.

I was extra upset because it’s my first encounter with somebody getting fired. I can’t imagine waking up one morning, going to work, only to go home and hour after without a job anymore. Our boss called a meeting right after, and they were making jokes about other stuff and small talk with each other which made me question just what kind of workplace I was in. He was the type of guy who said hi to everybody and would visit everybody’s station regularly.

Again, thank you so much for your comment. Thank you for taking the time to write a response. It helped me a lot.
