I worked for a year for a company. My manager was nitpicking me about everything. I tried my best to work up to his standards but nothing was good enough.
Just before Christmas last year he fired me for not meeting expectations. I didn’t see it coming and cried as the HR manager walked me to my car.
I was in panic when this happened since I just bought a house few months after getting the job and didn’t want to lose it. I was very fortunate and found a new job about a month after losing that job.
Recently, the manager who fired me asked me if I have a login for account to renew their website domain. (Of course I don’t have this information anymore since it was in the work laptop they confiscated from me as they let me go.) I decided not to respond to his text and just blocked him.
I week later a coworker (contracted advertising agency)of my manager inquires about the same thing. I did not respond to his text either.
What would you do in this situation?
There’s nothing I can do to help. My manager should have known to keep my work laptop for information like this.
I admit that it hurt me a lot to be fired so knowing that this is happening is really surreal.
