How one feels when he is fired from the job?

Many construction managers, when faced with the challenge of firing someone, forget, or are unaware of the emotions that are experienced by the construction executive being fired. Nor are they aware of the behavior that most often results from these emotions. It has been well documented that the death of a loved one, a marriage or long term relationship breakup and the loss of one's job, have an equal and similar impact on one's emotions. Think for a moment about the loss of one of your dear relatives or friends through death - how did you feel? That's exactly the same feeling that people have when they suddenly and unexpectedly lose their jobs.
