It could be over a few months, like a new job where one day you feel like actually going to work thinking, hey I actually like these people and don’t mind working here.

Or when your friends have been super busy for months and suddenly you get matched on dating apps, old friends reach out and people want to buy your old junk on Craigslist in a single day.

    I’ll preface by saying I have done some bad things I’m not proud of in life.

    I was an failure relative to my peers and just never felt like I would progress, so I did things to people I am not proud of doing in times of need.

    One of these came back to bite me when I started a new job at the same place as two people I’d wronged. Suffice to say I was recognised and one of them made a complaint.

    So during my training, the last week, I was taken aside and confronted by HR and subsequently canned. I was canned for discrepancies in my application as they could hardly can me on hearsay.

    Well, that spurred me to apply for a job, not my ideal job, at a better company. Which to cut this short basically enabled me to grow as a person, get a neurodivergent diagnosis with medication. Re-train and now I work in my dream field.

    The moral is good things happen to bad people i guess.
