So grateful my husband was fired from his previous job

I've learned recently that the nursing home my husband used to work at is running wild with COVID. I saw the numbers in the paper and it's over half of the nursing home. My husband has never been happier he was fired. He was miserable there anyway so we just saw it as a sign he needed to move on. Here's the thing about my husband he's an incredibly hard worker and most of the staff and residents loved him. The reason he was fired was because he didn't agree with the way they were running things there at the end and one of the higher-ups didn't like him. They couldn't find anything on his FB page which they had printed out from my understanding. My husband said that they hurried and flipped over some stuff that was on his page when he walked in. The reason they gave him was for something that most of the other cooks have done countless times. Everyone agrees that he wasn't fired because he wasn't doing his job. He was an extremely hard and dedicated worker. We figure it's for the better. At least now he's not dealing with the regular COVID tests and the continually rising COVID numbers running rampant there. They really did him a favor. He would have stayed there and been miserable he's just not happy with the way they did it. He was at the top pay there and was expected to do a lot of work for what he was being paid. He was just tired and miserable. They can't currently keep help there and they fired some of their best workers because the workers didn't like the way things were being run and instead of seeing that they had a point their answer was to fire them. I feel bad for the residents because they are going through so much and not getting the care they need and now a good portion of them are getting COVID. Five of them died from it within a 24 hour period. The staff has mostly popped back from it but the residents are having a hard time. We don't even know if my husband's positive test was accurate so there's a chance they would stick him in the COVID unit and he would have actually gotten it if he didn't have it since he never showed any symptoms. It's such a messed up situation and we are so grateful he isn't there anymore.

l guess it’s a blessing in disguise kind of story. There are circumstances in life that at the time it happens you’re clueless why it happened. Only to realize its purpose later.

@sissy15 Good thing that you saw it as such. Many other do come to a point that they only realize it when things happen that they see the reason why.

Yup, but to be fair when it happened we saw it as a blessing too. As much as it sucked that he no longer had that income we both knew he was miserable there anyway. When they fired him this weight had been lifted off our shoulders. That constant fear that it was coming was no longer there and he could focus on finding a new job and he did.

@rsa101 I honestly know that despite how miserable my husband was he would have probably stayed. He hates leaving and starting over. That job got him through quarantine when the other job he had left wasn't even open and he found a job in no time after being fired. I remember thinking this isn't the end of the world we'll be ok and we were. We have some credit card debt we are working on paying off because we had to put some bills on them but we didn't get too far behind thankfully. I think it may have been different had my husband actually enjoyed his job but he didn't.

I think sometimes we are so focused on the bad that we can't see the good in things. Sometimes things really do happen for a reason.

We are, they did him a favor. Just wish they would have gone about it a different way.
