Your boss just calls you into his office and tells you to pack your bags. You've tried pleading your case but he isn't budging. Whether it's sudden or you knew it was coming, your first instinct may be to freeze, lash out or crawl into a ball. Please don't do either.

2. The "I-Gotta-Big-Ego " Stage

After you've packed your stuff, hand in your badge and take that glorious walk of shame out the office door, your inner Beyonce tells you that your way too good for this place anyway. Please be advised that this initial ego boost may fade within the first 24 hours.

3. The "Ring-The-Alarm" Stage

You're driving home from work and then it dawns on you how much time, energy and work you put into your job before you left. You helped them prosper and now someone else is going to fill your spot? I'LL BE DAMNED.

4. The "Broken-Hearted-Girl" Stage

As much as you want to stay angry because it's easier, Monday rolls around and you're not at your comfy cubicle anymore. You check your bank account and realize your paycheck won't be there. This is when reality sets in, and it's time to sink or swim.

5. The "Female-Version-of-a-Hustla" Stage

You cried. You binged. You realize you can't live off of cereal and spoiled milk anymore. The pity party is OVER and you are ready to get back in the game. Contact your contacts, make sure your resume is FLAWLESS and work for that WORK!
