Inspired by Loveboating's living separate thread. Just curious what you consider more of a failure. I have met some very career-driven people who "married their job" and cheat on it with human spouse, lol. Thoughts?

I didn't vote since I looked at my divorce and being fired as chances to move on and better myself.

Yeah, I make it a policy to never vote on polls.

I guess if I had to pick I would pick divorce as the biggest failure. What a horrible thing to say, though.

Unless you vowed, in front of God, friends and family, that you were going to stay in your job forever - then I'd say divorce is a bigger failure.

I can see that actually. Because doing your job should be easy (unlike love), right? Unless your boss just has it out for you.
