I can very well feel your disturbance about getting fired. I can very much imagine I'd feel the same (and hate myself for feeling so strongly about how some bunch of a****les acted).
I haven't been through this yet (thankfully), but I did heard that much of it is normal:
- telling you in the latest moment possible, for fear you might do some damage if you continued working after knowing you are being sacked
- Not being up to any discussions; once the big boss tells you about it, the decision has been made, irreversibly. No amount of reasoning will change it.
- It happens that people get fired without any fault of their own; in that case the reason presented to you was probably just an excuse
As a piece of encouragement, please consider that
- It wasn't the decision of the people who worked with you, but somebody else, probably for reasons completely unrelated (financial maybe, or looking for somebody to place some blame)
- The big boss who fired you was probably pretty much indifferent about you; he didn't hate you. There are good chances you'll get a good letter of reference; he doesn't gain anything from earning your (or your direct supervisor's) enmity.
I wish you the best of luck, and hope that you'll find something to do which you both like, and which can sustain you.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
