Paid one extra month and not going back to work

Started a job a few months back; didn’t get the proper training and didn’t really fit the ultra corporate world. I agreed that it wasn’t a good fit; I was the person who voice it first. Main reason was productivity, workload, terrible leadership waiting for me in 2023. Funny enough they were happy for me to stay another extra month « to finish up projects ». Well you may think, how generous. How generous to give me another pay check while I work around people that decided they didn’t want me there no longer either. That training was a hassle.

I agreed that it wasn’t a good fit; I was the person who voice it first. Main reason was productivity, workload, terrible leadership waiting for me in 2023. Funny enough they were happy for me to stay another extra month « to finish up projects ».

Well you may think, how generous. How generous to give me another pay check while I work around people that decided they didn’t want me there no longer either. That training was a hassle. How funny that it’s a productivity issue for them but I’m still trusted for another 30 days budgeting advertising. How funny.

I refused. The manager didn’t tell me their policy was to pay the next month regardless of me going or not. They were banking on me being desperate. I refused and then found out I would still be paid.

Karma is a b*tch. I’m also very close to get another job, this time remote. And with more money. Win win.

It’s too easy to beat yourself up when something doesn’t work out. When money is truly an issue for most of us anyways. Trust that good things will happen eventually. I know how alone you may feel as not everyone has back up laying around for them.

Just wanted to share this story on how I banked a monthly salary without working AND gave all my workload to one of my colleague which previously was making me do most of the thing they didn’t want to do.

Believe in yourself. ️
