To me getting fired still has a very negative feel to it.It means you reach a breaking point, and you absolutely refuse to continue or you broke some rule, it could be on principle or violation, but nevertheless you did something wrong. Which case all you will learn is that you can stand your ground.
Now if it's a layoff, that's a different story. I've always been told that you should work your way out of your job. Meaning do such a stellar job that they really dont need you anymore. In this sense, it's a good thing, because you actually know when it's time to move on or that what you're doing is not up to your full potential.
But there is another set of people that constantly strife to improve and move up in their own skill set and role. These people move as opportunity comes to them. They are never laid off or fired, per se, but know how to actively advance their career and goals effectively. In my mind this is where everyone should be, as it means you are never fearful of losing your job, or ever concern about finding another job. If you are good, the jobs will find you.
