I was fired from my job suddenly and unexpectedly the end of last week. After thanking God for the time I had there, I've been asking for him to guide me to whatever I should do next. If you're willing, please say a prayer for me asking the same.
Thanks, hope you had a blessed Sunday.

As of Germany, software developer, my experience wasn't too far from that. No globohomo crap, but it was a leadership via fear and extreme amounts of incompetence. Employees all went "I'm just doing what I'm paid to do, and what I am told." I hate that spineless attitude. I always went for high-quality work, which improved my skills as well. I even voluntarily mentored a newbie. Not only did they not support me, not appreciate it the slightest, but made it more difficult. The good manager left at some point. The guy before him taught him for 1 year involuntarily with no results btw.
It was like they never had any time, always under pressure, full of stress. Two finished projects I made got discarded, where the first one took me 2 years of work (would have been faster and better if it went my way btw), and the second one was a rework of an old program.
Upon reflection I realized the boss of the company had full control over anything, even technical details. He told my manageress to tell me to do something a certain way, which was a TERRIBLE idea, so I wrote him a nice e-mail that expanded on the topic and offered better alternatives. It was professional and objective. Given that he wanted to suddenly partake in the technical details (which he didn't in anything else), he seemed to be up to talk about it.
Later he exposed my e-mail and complained among the leadership about how insolent I am. My manageress told me about it, but we basically just laughed it off. 2 weeks later he decided (totally his original idea) to do the mediocre option I wrote in the e-mail - of course not the best btw.
So I made the following: I restructured the code so that ANY of these options (3) can be done by simply changing 1-2 lines of code. So in the case they (he) decided to cease to be retarded, they could switch from the mediocre option to the best one. Or just down to the worst option.
Then we parted over a bureaucratic thing where they went full retard and made my life harder while it cost them +10-15% of my salary in expenses to a jewish third party. And communication was terrible, that incompetent bitch "forgot" me for 2 weeks when it mattered. I wasn't really being fired, nor did I quit - I was halfway out of the door, and they insisted on their stupidity, so it was over.
I remember during covid when i was getting the sense i might be fired because everyone kept reporting me for not wearing a mask ....
...I inserted passwords to modify or alter much of my code. So when they did eventually fire me they lost access to all the coding and script i had written. LOL
Now i'm just doing gigs for cash and only making about $600-$1000 cash per week. More free time on my hands to work on the farm, though. I'm building another shed and installing some solar panels and gutters. Actually i have too many ongoing projects to list.
That's good. In my case I wouldn't have minded if they used the stuff I coded. But I believe they use 0% of what I did there. 2 finished projects which were completely discarded.
I even tried to introduce a project in which common, generic classes and functions are stored for everyone to use. It would have had a lot of advantages to save time and effort, and have some developer cooperation, refinement of code, etc. The project could be compiled into a DLL, or singular .cs files could be copied, or even both (just in case).
Nobody cared. Nobody even looked at it. Nobody even cared to listen. One time in private I even offered a major performance increase alternative for the first big project I worked on... nobody cared either.
Anyway, I continue to use all of these for myself. Things like TwoKeyDictionary<Key1, Key2, Value>, or CooldownTimer that has a warmup and cooldown time. A DebugTool class that greatly helps with debugging. Or functions like Clamp, RoundToInt, statistical stuff, Randomizer to generate any type of randomized values or strings. Now it has some quite complicated things even, like a memory pool that yields special MemoryStreams that are reused for maximum performance.
And the project I offered was a communication library for clients and servers, which is now the basis for my main project.

Now I am working on my own project.
