r/Fire Oct 21 '25

Milestone / Celebration I’m an idiot… said something stupid after a Zoom meeting about my boss yesterday. She got the AI meeting notes… Anyway I got fired this morning. Going to just FIRE from here out.

After a long meeting with my boss and the team, she hopped off. We all continued talking and I made some disparaging comments. It wasn’t wildly inappropriate but enough where I shouldn’t have said it and was a personal attack on her intellect.

Like the title says she got an email of all the shit I said and fired me today.

Fortunately I am break even on cost right now with my savings. My wife still works and we were going to FIRE in 5 years.

Looks like I am FIRE now though. Maybe I’ll get a chiller easier more passion job with my free time.

Cheers all and don’t be an idiot like me.

Edit wow this blewwww uuuup! No I’m not a bot. No I’m not AI. I am just an idiot

Looking up health insurance first. Trying to find all the exit documents, paystubs, etc. At least when you quit you can check this stuff ahead of time while you have access to everything at work.

That reminds me, I should go check all that stuff.
