Today, I was let go from my job, because I'm "progressing too quickly and there's no promotions available" and I "can find a better place to work at." FML

Just tell them you're not looking for a promotion, try and keep that job, and the next one you find get out of there because you know now that you work harder than you should and deserve better pay.

Fired because over qualified? Take it as a positive point and apply to somewhere better. Though losing an existing job does suck.

Wow, you competented yourself out of a job. More likely your boss got scared you were going to take his job.

Clearly the felt it was better to have you move on now before they became too reliant on you and faced the risk of you with them at a less opportune time for them. With the proper severance package and references move on Their decision is actually sound for both you and them

I'm sure you can find a better place to work OP... There's always job opportunities! Good Luck

I hate when employers just assume that. If there was a better job available in the first place, it would have been my first choice, however a job is a job and I'll take anything I can get. Hopefully they'll understand and let you back on the position, OP! Job searching is rough....

They should at least help you find a new job; it's not like you did anything wrong or that they themselves are in trouble or going out of business.

Seriously? Well you should keep your position and they should at least give you a few reference points from there for a new job...good luck OP hope you find something soon

If you are fired being more productive then I am sure you can find better job than this.

sounds like they are scared they you are going to take there job

Sounds like being a hard worker got you fired, making everyone else look bad.... The other employees probably ganged up on you with the boss...
