I had a co-worker who was demoted twice and still made mistakes in my department and then was given a promotion, and ended up leaving. And I wish this was done for me. I realized about a year in or earlier that the job I had arrived to get in the company was very far from a dream job, it was stressful, not exciting and didn’t lead me into any more connections to network. I also didn’t get along with my manager from almost day 1. My role switched when I got a new manager, and I tried to advocate for myself into a new department by talking to another director about a job, talking to my manager, months before being fired. I think it was obvious I hated the position, but I didn’t want to lose the company. I wish my manager didn’t give up on me, and they redirected me instead of throwing me out. There’s so many conversations I was a part of but not there to hear about so idk what was the last straw for them.
