Have you not had a job, or somehow they've never been allowed to fire you? I'm not playing dumb, I may actually be dumb - I just can't imagine what job doesn't carry a risk of being fired (except maybe tenured professor)?

    I've been employed for a good 25 years of my life. I've either, been too valuable to fire and have had too much knowledge of where the bodies are buried, worked for myself, or worked for my parents company. I did have one normal job once a few years back, for 90 days and then it was a mutual resignation. Ive never really had a boss I've ever feared, ive always been on their "team".

    Right on! I get this energy as well. Never had anyone "manage" me. Make my own schedule and I project deep roots into everything I touch and improve cutting me loose would be extremely painful.

    I did work somewhere where the COO wanted to can my ass. But they were constantly told I was way to valuable by the rest of the c-suite and cool it. Their problem was I wouldn't kiss their ass and called them out on dumb ideas.

    I show up to do work, not play politics. Turns out being good at what you do pays off sometimes.
