It’s corny, but just wanted to share a positive note with this sub that better opportunities really are out there. I got terminated at my last organization, for what I saw as political reasons and a complete shock to me, in an at-will state last week. I was fortunate enough to secure gainful employment the next day.
I’ve been at my new company two days and my boss has already treated me to lunch (twice), given me full autonomy to achieve my responsibilities, handed me my own physical key to our office, and ensured I’m on the payroll schedule to get a check this Friday so I can pay my bills while I wait for my last check. I never imagined I’d be excited to go into work, or that the workplace was supposed to be positive.
Better opportunities are out there my friends. Keep looking and keep the faith.
