I've never been "fired" but I was "laid off". When I was hired, there were ~20 employees. Six months later, the largest client asked to increase their monthly expenditures ~10 fold. The boss opened a second physical office and hired ~15 additional people. Six months after that, the same client stopped sending the company any business. The boss eliminated all of the new people (most left on their own) and closed the second office. One friday, I came in and had a bad feeling. He asked me into his office and explained that because I was the person with least seniority remaining in the office, I would be let go next.
I can't necessarily blame him but it did hurt.
