I got fired from my second job after 2 weeks; was told by the VP to get out of the computer software development business since I didn’t fit.
My first app for my first company out of college increased the company’s share of the market by 20% and ran, without a single update or change, for 18 years.
After being fired, I developed over 100 apps, gave speeches at conventions, wrote numerous articles, trained hundreds of people, and got my last job at age 65 because the first 12 people could not pass the programming test.
Ignorance can be fixed, stupidity can’t. The VP was stupid.
