But the lady who let me go was NOT expecting me to be so excited!
I had a toxic boss who liked to humiliate his staff and also try to cross personal boundaries. He also would constantly quiz us during the day—at random times—with different questions from the training. This sounds good on paper, but ultimately it felt like a good way for him to humiliate you if you were wrong. And he liked to remind you that he’s the expert and you’re the novice.
His assistant called me into her office and told me that I’m not a good fit for the job. I instantly lit up: I smiled out of pure job and thanked her for the opportunity. I shook her hand and RUSHED out of the building.
I honestly don’t think she was expecting that. She probably wanted me to beg and plead for another chance—but fuck that! There’s plenty of jobs out there in my industry that are far less toxic and pay just as much.
