They brought the meeting forward to today and I've been terminated. I'm just glad it's over
Sounds like it was for the best to leave anyway, even if it feels crappy now. You'll look back and think this was the best thing that could have happened
This whole year sucked for me work wise. I had a stressful project at the start of the year. Then I was facing a redundancy, then I've been going through this for the past 9 weeks. It's been so stressful, I'm just glad it's over
performance plan is really just "Paid Job Hunting notice period" anyway. On to bigger and better things. And hey if you value your sanity dont come to my work. Shit is a dumpster fire.
That was my problem, I didn't get on the job hunt seriously soon enough. I thought I could get through it, started looking at jobs, had some interviews that didn't go anywhere, and didn't pick it up as much until the last meeting. I'm getting the standard 2 weeks pay so if I can pick up an immediate start contract I might be able to coast for a bit
No one is at their best with an axe hanging over them. It's over, look up with freedom and move on. And get really drunk tonight.
I'm more excited to have my spring back. I started around this time last year and things were so much easier. I picked my kids up early from childcare and took them to a park before home. I'd like to do that again a few times before I start something else
I'm really sorry this has happened mate.
I'll try make the most of it. I can go on centrelink through my business and I can go into job application overdrive now
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope better things are just around the corner for you.
A recruiter I've worked with before has a contract role that's the exact thing I'm looking for. These roles are always an immediate start so things may just work out. And to think how grateful I'll be to the first place that takes me after all this
Fingers crossed for you mate ๐ค
Fuck, it's the day for bad news hey. I'm so sorry to hear about your work situation, it's an awful feeling to be terminated and can set off so many bad thoughts. Vent here as much as you need. I'd like to think it's an opportunity for you to move onto somewhere you'd be better appreciated - my hope for you is in a year's time you'll be able to look back on it all and laugh at how fucked up your workplace was
