zandertoyLet’s just say there’s always a first for everything.
Yesterday morning at 9:30am I was fired from my job at C.
I worked so hard there, spent many days working late and in stress mode all day.
Her reasoning for letting me go was that although she saw me put in so much effort I was not the right fit for this position. She is super controlling and so insecure that she was never happy with anything she worked on. I think when you get too obsessed with perfection you lose focus on the real goal of designing beautiful product. Most people don’t even notice the crazy things that she made me work on.
Looking back I really don’t regret my performance there. I gave it my all even though I was so unhappy there. I questioned my reason for being there almost every day but I just dealt with it because it was a job at C.
I dealt with my bosses rude comments to me on several occasions and put up with her shit for three months straight.
I guess this was really the best way it could have happened. If that was only three months of misery I can’t imagine the person I would have become after a year of working with her.
After working in corporate I have realized that design is such a small part of the job, it’s really about how well you work with the other teams and people in the company. Maybe she was threatened with my ability to be social and well liked?
It really doesn’t matter anymore. God does work in mysterious ways so I do believe that something better will come along. I just have to stay positive and focused.
The best part of my day yesterday was that after I got let go Adis called me and told me that she took the day off and was on her way to come visit me. :-)
That was super sweet of her. Another funny thing was that Lollise after I told her what happened she immediately said “i’m coming over”. I was kind of shocked and surprised and was so happy that she’s my friend.
We spent the afternoon just hanging out at home and then Adis and Ariel showed up. Talked about how shitty it all was and everyone I spoke to about it is actually happy for me since they knew how unhappy I was.
It’s really awful that they have that culture there. When you are working there you are so blinded by the C goggles that you believe that this is a reality and it is OK. It’s just freaking handbags but they just take it to this insane level. Is this a good thing? I’m really not sure but I do also know that they could do it with more of a positive vibe and not be so crazy about little things.
