A total unexpected event occurred yesterday. I was terminated from my employment after 5 years of loyal hard work. I don't completely understand why this happened. I was told that it was
not because I was a bad employee, but because of a strenuous relationship with a coworker and salary budget issues. Right now I feel many things:
Shocked
Embarrassed
Angry
Confused
My
boss seemed genuinely upset and he had told me he was ill because he had to terminate me, but the situation still frustrates me. I wished the best of luck and told that I would be provided with the very best reference to new prospective employers. I was also given 6 weeks of full pay.
What do I do now?? I'm am extremely fortunate to have such a solid loving relationship with my fiancé. He had reassured me that everything is going to be alright and too focus of the positive.
What is the positive?? I gained:
- 6 weeks of normal salary pay!
- A reference
- A chance to change to a better position
- A chance to earn more income
- some time off.
Also, I'm grateful for the emergency fund that I had in my general savings account. If all goes well, I may not even have to dip into it.
Now I am off to a new endeavour and opportunity in which I will come out ahead.
sorry to hear that you have been laid off, it's a shock coming completely out of the blue like that!
ReplyDeleteit's good you are able to look on the positive side though, good luck with the job hunt.
