Fired exec: ‘Starbucks saved my life’ – book to become movie

Michael Gates Gill was a high-flying, six-figure-earning advertising executive years ago before he was abruptly fired. He had created huge campaigns for companies like Christian Dior and Ford and lived an even bigger life, with luxury automobiles, lavish vacations and fabulous clothes.

These days, however, he’s traded his $3,000 Brooks Brothers suits for khakis and a green apron; the big bucks for a $10 an hour job as a barista at Starbucks. But Gill says he couldn’t be happier…. “I still have trouble with some of the drinks,” he admits, “but I’m a good cleaner…. I can make a toilet shine like a Ferrari.”

“Losing my job turned out to be a gift in disguise.”

What a great story!!! If only everyone could be as gracious and excited as Michael to do their job…..
