re: Should I email my old boss?

If their operation is as bad as you say, why would you want to further associate yourself with it?
I would wait for him to be terminated and then offer him work as my caddie, landscaper, etc.

You should if you work in an environment like the OP said. Most specifically this reason "He was a sales person, I'm an engineer." The worker looks to improve, sales looks to have a better bottom line.

I agree but the OP said he increased the bottom line and could prove it so your argument is invalid......unless I totally misread everything he wrote?

Believe what you wish, I don't care. You have little to no info to bring you to that conclusion.

Well I know that most people, and corporations, do what is best for themselves and if you were an asset the logical thing would have been to keep you. That being said.....if the company is in that much financial trouble you should be glad you are gone. Also, you 100% should email someone there and get some of the little $ they have left.

OP is a whacko. That's why he was canned

TLDR, my old boss is a douche and everyone is laughing at him. Should I make contact to gloat?

No.

Don't burn bridges and be the bigger man. Your success will be enough.

ETA: Use this as a learning experience NOT to be the sort of boss he is the next time you get a chance to lead.

OP wants to offer consulting services to a company that canned him less than half a year earlier This is funny.

My old boss though laughed when I left my old job at LSU to start my own business- even though now I just do it on the side. She came to me last month and asked if I had any work for her.

I was all like...

:yao ming bitch please:

Frickin pic won't show jesus

Dude was probably an egotistical a-hole that always claimed to have the right answer. This alienated him from Sr. Management.

Sounds like you think more of what you were worth than you really were

I have worked in multiple locations in multiple Business for a large company, and I manage a large number of employees. (Both contractors and company). If you did the things you say you did, and I don't doubt it, there was an underlying reason they let you go that you don't know about. The only other explanation is you didn't communicate the value you generated and it was hidden from the folks that make personnel decisions.

Either way, contacting for that specifically is a bad idea, as I assure you things are always overstated 3rd hand and if you didn't hear it from the people running the show then their take is likely different. I would not have an issue with a former employee contacting me and saying "Hey old boss, I know we parted ways in November, but I just wanted to let you know that I still believe I can bring a lot of value to the organization, and if at any point in the future if you have a need for my services please let me know and I will come by the office to discuss."

Anything like "I told you so" and I would make sure I phoned the Corporate office and put you on the never hire again list, and I would certainly not entertain bringing you back. Sounds like you don't care, but it is very surprising how some people reappear in your career over the years.

My 2 cents.

Pics of the Business Systems Manager please.

What's her OS?

Move on with your life, these are not insightful or wise people at work.
