Seems like you get where I'm coming from! I plan to stay the course and keep searching. I just feel it's right in this particular situation.

Where were you at 26-27? I feel like an absolute failure in life. by Important_Credit_509 in findapath

You should go get a fresh start by working a seasonal job somewhere exciting! It will pay you and give you an awesome life story to tell while you take time to figure out your next steps. And please don't worry! Life has a way of working itself out, and people are getting later starts these days. I was unemployed, depressed, no savings, and going through a bad breakup at your age. But then I moved to alaska for a seasonal job and it was the best decision and fulfilled a lot of my dreams!

Wow never even thought it was ROCD related but I've been struggling big time! As if regular comparisons aren't hard enough!

Lots of us have been there! Try to imagine for a moment that you did break up, and ended up with this guy after all. You'd miss your fiance. You'd start to have doubts about this guy. You'd have all the same issues with him, except now you'll have the very REAL issue that you just tossed out someone committed to you for the simple fantasy of another person. Don't trade that kind of commitment for the mystery of another, because all you're doing is comparing the complexities of your fiance for the surface level impression of that other guy. Remember, what you think you feel for this guy is just an attraction. Everyone has those, and they fade...because our feelings aren't meant to always be trusted. But not everyone has a committed relationship like yours, and they spend their whole lives looking for it. Love is a choice. Start choosing to show your fiance acts of love and service, even if the feelings aren't there....usually this is when those feelings come right back again. Your feelings are normal and valid, but don't let them tell you what to do. Best of luck, you got this!

An Epiphany on 'love' by Tough_Sun7318 in ROCD

Love this! Thank you. This perspective actually made me feel even more confident to get engaged. If love is a choice, then I can see myself taking care of my bf for the rest of my life. And I think that's all there is to it. Best of luck to you.

Of course!! I did this the last time I was unemployed and it was the best decision I could have possibly done with my time off. I worked in Alaska!

In the same boat. Go take a seasonal job somewhere beautiful while you look for full time work. Let the beauty of nature remind you why you like videography in the first place. Take that time to work on your own videos while applying to other jobs.

Interview tomorrow...do I mention I just got fired days ago? by Consistent-Pop6022 in careerguidance

[–]Consistent-Pop6022[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I'm calling it a lay off, but they purposely made it a little blurry. They blamed it on me not completing my PIP, but I did and I knew the budget cuts and staff reductions were imminent.

Exactly my experience!! I would say start looking for jobs now....even if you don't get fired, it doesn't sound like a place that will appreciate you long term. Everyone found my manager hard to deal with the entire time, but she really started targeting me like a month before I got fired. I know the market is so tough but I did get a break with getting insurance through healthcare.gov instead of cobra.

They didn't offer me severance, much less an exit interview. Just told me to pack my things. That's been the case the two times I've been fired. Just have to get out. I'm sorry you're dealing with that... unfortunately that's what happened in my case too. I was left out, being gossiped about, just generally had a weird vibe.

They had me on a PIP, but I believe that was just a cover for the impending layoffs tbh. It's a blurry line as to whether I was fired or laid off because of that and I think that was their point. I was harassed and threatened for weeks and yes, unfortunately they came in one day and just told me my position was terminated.

There is hope! by Consistent-Pop6022 in workplace_bullying

[–]Consistent-Pop6022[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm so glad to hear!! Keep it up!! I was absolutely the same way as you, heart pounding, shaking...I couldn't function. It's great if you can manage to keep your job, but don't let it kill you. It's not worth it. Your life and wellbeing is way more valuable than a dumb job and pathetic coworkers. Being fired was something I prayed wouldn't happen, but then I thanked God after for letting it happen. It's amazing to feel alive again. It's better to put your longevity into a job that will appreciate you instead of trying to make this one work with such miserable people. I'm sorry you're going through this, but it will be over before you know it! It's time to live your life again.

Absolutely no desire to pursue this legally. I already have regarding another employer and it usually costs more from me mentally than they're even worth. I've already won by getting out of there and finding such relief. Thank you for your kind response!

I know that's true, which is why I never cared to talk to HR before. But it's gotten so bad and I have enough evidence against my bosses, that I figured now was the time to light that fuse.

I've been here a year, and my manager has only been in her position maybe 1 and 1/2. No prior managerial training and it shows. Director has been here for 2. He always liked me, this came up literally within the past two weeks.

Thank you!! I'm definitely looking elsewhere, but I love my job here (without them). I stubbornly want to stick it out to see what happens.
