I always thought about what it would be like to work at the unemployment office… Get fired… Next day you have to go back and be like “good morning Sheila, can I get a copy of form 2431-b please?”
It’s true. I have had a good number of jobs, I come, work on things, make improvements, then move on when I’ve grown or they are in a better spot. I honestly thought I was the guy coming in to help fix things and then move on once things are stable.
Instead, I have created a series of opportunities for them to blame the last guy to leave.
No matter how good of a job you do, unless you are there to remind folks, they will forget and use the easy scapegoat. I’m still very popular with the folks I worked with on the ground, but management types are primarily after someone else to blame…
I was fired from my last job for making my boss “uncomfortable” by opening up about some mental health stuff I was going through. I also wasn’t afraid to point out when something being asked of me wasn’t my job so there was more to it. Anyways Im still friends with the secretary there. I went to pick her up one evening to grab dinner and my old boss saw me, turned ghost white and literally ran into her office to hide till i left. IDK what she thinks im going to do, but it is entertaining watch her cower like that.
Why in god’s name would I go back to an old job socially?
The three times I’ve been back to a old job location they were pleased I came back and fixed some screw up they made with the systems there. They may have hated to do it but they were glad I did. Otherwise why would I ever go back to one of them?
I’m not allowed there. (don’t have clearance anymore)
The unsuitable candidates list lol
