I was let go by a shitty company last fall. The work was alright and the pay was good, but I kind of crashed and burned due to poor training and management which was really, really depressing. (I have terrible ADHD and being poorly managed leaves me at my worst)
I was then hired this spring on a reference from a colleague at what turned out to be an even more toxic workplace. However, the salary was even better, I actually did really well until they took me off one project with my great manager and wanted me to split my time between two roles like they'd initially hired me to do. They didn't really train or manage me on the second role and fired me without warning because it didn't “seem like a good fit” after a month. No warning, no talking with my other manager who loved me, no sit down, just, “sorry, we're going to move on”
I'm trying to calculate my unemployment and it turns out that according to my state, I haven't worked enough over the last 18 months to qualify…I think I am short about 2-3 weeks in an earlier quarter. I am freaking out!
