So I work at this extremely small company that creates covers to protect cars in car plants as they’re going through the assembly process. As a sales and marketing coordinator I assumed it would be a lot of marketing more so than sales because they had virtually no internet presence.
But then it becomes clear that’s largely a pee on role to take some of the work away from the President… so whatever.
A few months back they bring in an outside sales guy as a consultant and figure they want to hire him to be outside sales. That guy kills all my marketing initiatives. All of a sudden all the sales dry up.
I keep making calls but there’s not a lot here to do (no one is committing to purchasing the products; and most is done with outside distributors anyways.)
Last Friday, see that they’re hiring for my job and straight up confront my boss. He says they posted the job to motivate me. (Mind you this entire time they see no value in having a web presence and consistently give me tasks that have nothing to do with sales or marketing.)
I tell my boss if you want me to leave, just fire me. (Always secure unemployment benefits) He claims he doesn’t want to. Yesterday they fired me.
Ps. Another worker and myself literally just got healthcare benefits. They fired both of us within two weeks of signing up and the other guy was effectively homeless at the time of firing.
