So. Old firm wanted me out because I was supposedly too expensive and they got an intern instead. They paid me three months severance fee.
We're now three months on and the intern they got can't handle the workload, so they are now looking to hire an extra person. Which means losing way more money than it would have cost to keep me and now they have to train two people as well.
As for me I got a new firm the day I left. The last three months I have effectively been getting double wages. But the best part? In January I'll start with my old firm's biggest rival. For almost double the pay I had originally.
It's too much almost.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Then once their livers fail, we can still try to sell their fatty livers to the Chinese.
American Fupa. What a delicacy.
It is, but it's not your problem anymore. They've made their decision and will have to live with it. I still sense you feel it was a bit personal, but it really sounds like business. And sometimes business decisions are bad. Good for you to continue to move on from that.

It's exactly why you get decade long rivalries. It's very different from most other jobs I've noticed.

Lol.
It depends on what you do. I don't think many people would call my job boring. I litigate. I go to court. I plead cases. There is drama every single time. Not to mention that every time you go to court you have a certain kind of stress and then release after. You get used to it, but there is still some tension there.
Also, a pretty fun factor is that the vast majority of young lawyers are women in Belgium. As a young man it's a fun environment to be in. It's pretty much non stop flirting.

It is a good thing. With experience this isn't vomit inducing stress. You just get a little nervous every time. But less and less. And afterwards, especially when it goes well of course, you have a sense of pride.
People often think it's just talking. But just talking isn't so easy when everyone in the room is looking at you.

Truth is they don't think highly of anyone. I myself replaced an experienced associate as an intern for them.
I guess I should have realised that how you get them is how they leave you.
The associate fired before me (who was replaced by an intern as well) told me as much. It's odd how much people warn you and you refuse to listen.

It does. My financial situation actually got a huge boost because of all this and the new job I'm going to is one that is likely to have more opportunity for growth.
The most painful part of it all was something I did not expect though. I had genuine friends at that firm. And I mean that still. It's not that they stabbed me in the back or dropped me as soon as I was fired.
One girl in particular kept talking to me and cheering me up. I can't say she wasn't a friend.
But somewhere along the way it deteriorates, because you start to feel she has her team and you're not on it. You start to notice her defend the indefensible.
And then it hit me. I used to be friends with the people who left or were let go before me. And the friendship deteriorated as well. And now I see that back then I was defending the things she is defending now. Now I am the person making twice as much and warning her that she is not treated well and she's not having it.
It's funny, but being fired was a real eye opener. You think friendships can survive if you go from one law firm to another. But it doesn't prove to be quite so easy.
