Simu Liu recalls getting fired from Deloitte 10 years ago

Simu Liu recalls getting fired from Deloitte 10 years ago, thinking 'life was over': 'All came crashing down'

Actor Simu Liu has shared a note as he recalled thinking, ten years ago, that his 'life was over' after being fired by his company in Canada's Toronto. Taking to Instagram, Simu wrote a long post remembering the incident that took place in his office. He also said that for four of those ten years, he ran around 'like a headless chicken' as he tried to 'figure out how to break into the industry, struggling with credit card debt and taking up any job. 

In his conclusion, he added, "To Paul Gibbon and the offices of Deloitte Toronto; sincerely, honestly, thank you. You did for me what I never had the courage to do myself; you destroyed a life that I was building for someone else, so that I could finally begin to build a life for me."

Taking to Twitter, he shared the note and wrote, "So this is a whole a** essay but the gist of it is that ten years ago today I was let go from my job as an accountant at Deloitte and although it devastated me at the time, it ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me. Thanks @DeloitteCanada! Thanks Paul!
