Sadly, other people still judge you even if it were not your fault at all.
This is what happened to me. I was terminated involuntarily. I didn't do anything wrong, it's just that my boss felt like I wasn't a good fit for the job. It didn't take the sting out of being fired though. But it was for the best. I really didn't like that job anyway.

Anyway, sorry that happened to you. PM if you want to talk. Did you apply for unemployment yet?
