Something you like but can't get it, so you say it is a sour grape. For example: "John said Linda is not very pretty, but I think it is a case of sour grape."

How about if John got fired from his job then said it (the company he had been working for) wasn't a very good company to work for. Might that be a case of sour grapes?
