Fired for something that should’ve been a write up, found a job that paid 20k more

As the title states .. I was fired for breaking some tooling on a machine. Something that could've been an easy write up but for some budgetary reasons I was let go. One of the worst parts about this job, and the reason I wasn't too hurt about being let go was the owner. He micromanaged everything and if you didn't do it his way, you were wrong. (Even if he was wrong in the first place) to their credit they didn't say it was a malicious thing so I was able to collect all summer but still sucked. Cue looking for work all summer long and only getting a single response. Literally.. only one place called me back. Did the interview process, they sent me an offer letter and I dam near feinted. 20k more than I was making at my last job. I saw the stories on here…

Did the interview process, they sent me an offer letter and I dam near feinted. 20k more than I was making at my last job. I saw the stories on here and didn't believe it was real but .. I was applying to jobs that I knew I was qualified for and not just anything that was out there and landed this one.

And working there has been awesome, salary position.. very little micromanaging, no single owner that has to have his way .. it's dam near perfect.
