So.. I’ve been let go some weeks ago

So.. I've been let go a few weeks ago. It didn't have anything to do with the quality of my work. They just expected me to take orders, not to question anything and constantly answer my phone, the message system and whatnot even when I had some time off from work, usually within the hour. My manager was constantly delegating her stuff to others and in particular me. If I didn't answer for 2 hours I would get a reminder. If I took some time off, let's say 2 hours, I would get a WhatsApp message in my spare time about stuff that could easily wait until the next day. She was driving me insane to the point where I got stuck as I just couldn't make any decisions any more. Like a deer caught in the headlights.

So.. I've been let go a few weeks ago. It didn't have anything to do with the quality of my work.

They just expected me to take orders, not to question anything and constantly answer my phone, the message system and whatnot even when I had some time off from work, usually within the hour. My manager was constantly delegating her stuff to others and in particular me. If I didn't answer for 2 hours I would get a reminder. If I took some time off, let's say 2 hours, I would get a WhatsApp message in my spare time about stuff that could easily wait until the next day. She was driving me insane to the point where I got stuck as I just couldn't make any decisions any more. Like a deer caught in the headlights. Others have been troubled as well but my co workers didn't have her as a direct manager so they deal with her.

I did not have the position or the salary to justify those long days and conditions. I voiced an opinion about it a few times so they decided after x months it wasn't a click with the company culture. No shit. I was totally miserable and headed for a burnout.

However, they do want you to stay shut so they paid me money for it to not mention the company or discuss it with Co workers, paying me for x months even when not working etc etc. I'm sure some people here know the drill.

Anyway, I've been home for a few weeks. They're still paying me for some months doing nothing.

But here in lies the problem… I'm having the best time ever. I do not want to go back to work. Even though I have a job lined up and another interview tomorrow with a company I like from the outside looking in.

I don't want to get back to work any more. I'm having such a blast and way too many plans before the new job starts .

Not really going anywhere with this. But don't be afraid to lose your job. There are plenty opportunities out there. If they don't treat you right, get out or make sure they're getting rid of you with a good offer.
