A 30 year career is a huge achievement in and of itself. One firing which says lots of negative things about your former boss and place of work, might actually speak to your higher moral and ethical sense. You are not the first or last employee to be fired for taking the higher ground. Decent employers will look at your whole record and know that your qualities (which might have played a part in the firing) are the same qualities they need in their employees.

Someday I hope you can wear this episode as a badge of honour.

By your description, I don't see just cause for your dismissal, but I do see a great opportunity (excuse, if you like) to move on. Have faith in yourself, and confidence in your abilities. Remember that to focus on what's next heightens your ability to promote yourself.

And, good luck. Let us know how it works out.

Peace, Mooh.
