Dismissed owes everything to Hugh’s mother. After he was let go, he was talking to his mom about how unbothered he was by what happened. His mother commented on the difference between how perception is different than it was in the 70’s and 80’s.
Later she sent Hugh a text saying how she thought a podcast talking about the emotional of being dismissed and how you can learn to move on from it. While historically, Hugh’s about 50% on listening to his mother, in this case, he agreed.
