person A: I was very disappointed that I was let go of a job I had had for years
person B: I'm sorry to hear that. Did they give you a severance package? Also_comma_ Do you have prospects for a future position?
person A: They did provide severance. I wasn't sure what to do but felt that things would work out
person B: At least they did that much for you. I'm sure you'll land on your feet. You seem like an optimistic type
person A: Well_comma_ actually I did end up getting a job that I like!
person B: That's wonderful! I hope you find fulfillment and a sense of purpose {not to mention a chunky wallet haha}
person A: Thanks! The wallet's still a bit skinny_comma_ but I like the job_comma_ though!
person B: Personally_comma_ I find that a job you enjoy that gets you by is superior to one that makes you a lot of money at the cost of your happiness
