Unemployed and Depressed.

Guess who no longer has a job? That's right! Me! Got fired this afternoon, but do you want to know what really grates me? They waited until 5PM today to do it just as I was walking out the door. Just had to put my soul through one last full day of torment, didn't they? It was so nonchalant that it really pissed me off. Apparently, I wasn't a good "fit" with the company. And to top it off, due to the way in which they have classified my termination, I will not be able to collect unemployment. Way to be true winners at life right there. They have the audacity to say that my performance was "unsatisfactory" when I worked my ass off for them, changed things over and over again on every little fucking whim they had. I worked over 200 bloody hours of unpaid overtime in six months! WTF?! I'm totally going to bundle up the ugly company shirts in a bag and stuff them in the mailbox outside the office. Screw them to the rafters, I say. I'm less angry now and more disappointed than I was earlier. At least I'll get to sleep in later tomorrow, but somehow I doubt I'll be sleeping at all tonight.

Yup - this is what I was thinking.

They needed a scapegoat, and now they have one. They used the woman who had the job before me as a scapegoat as well (of course that was after they drove her into a nervous breakdown).

And this adds a new question you can ask at an interview: "What happened to the person who had this job before me?" ;)

Indeed, I'll definitely be asking that from now on. The poor girl who came before me was hired to do solo marketing but they tried to make her into a graphic designer, but they didn't give her any programs or provide any kind of training, which wound up driving her close to mad.
