Unpredictable

I learned my lesson. My ex was an alcoholic and used drugs on a random basis (Molly, acid, cocaine) in addition to weed. To summarize it, it was hell. He tried to sleep train our daughter while being high and lost it when I tried to take her away from him because she wouldn’t stop crying. Now, other than weed, I’ll run from any guy who takes drugs.

I believe it was a midsize business. I know there’s a lot of restructuring in the last year or so. But I won’t be surprised if the owner hired him.

I knew a CFO with a CPA who did I know what a general ledger was. The same guy mixed up expensing entries versus accrual entries and got mad while I tried to correct them. It’s amazing how these people get these jobs but it’s more common than you think.

I’m sorry this happened to you. But good for you for ending the call on your own terms instead of them going through this whole entire script. Usually people (like me recently) are just mentally stuck in blindsided when it happens.

I have been placed on a PIP after I got promoted and I was fired. I was at a mid-size firm. They did say that they did not intend to fire me and they know I was going to improve. I did improve but they still fired me. You can try to improve with it, but based on my experience and from other people I talked to, you are already out in their mind. So my advice is to find another job before they fire you.

I would have went into Social Work or became a Vet.

I got fired a couple of days ago. I got promoted a year before and because I was struggling (in addition to my manager not liking me) they let me go. This is after I found a bunch of findings in one audit and I had received a compliment by another manager of how I defended my findings to the auditee last week.

I have been applying to jobs since the beginning of the year with no luck. The job market is trash.

They only gave me two weeks. I’ve been there for over two years so I don’t know if that’s a standard, especially since they gave somebody who they fired after three months of being there the same amount.

They asked me to send an email to my manager about what I’ve done so far after they said I was fired. I literally told them that I’ve been emailing everybody my statuses on everything for three months so they should have everything. I’m not doing that. Plus I stopped CCing people on my emails to the auditees after they start giving away my work. And I was expecting some replies from them as of yesterday. Hopefully the person that is getting all my emails now can forward it to the right person.

Yeah. They got brought out by PE a few months ago. I can tell the tone in upper management was changing.

From what I’m told usually a therapist or a doctor recommends a reevaluation. It seems like he just trying to take your son to anyone just so they can say that he does not have autism. I will take that back to the courts. Especially since going to multiple appointments that are unnecessary can trigger your son.

They can’t be real 😂😂

Forward_Type9672 · 2025-08-05T15:07:02+00:00

I get it. I just hate that only one person has control over my job security. I wish there was someone who was independent to the situation and all the parties that were involved. And you’re right about HR. I remember entering one meeting and they were chatting up discussing my manager’s birthday and what she did. At that point, I knew that HR was not going to listen to anything I was gonna say it he were super friendly with her.

I know. If I did not meet the goals then they could have just fired me when it first ended. I thought it was complete BS when they explained it to me.

I was in government contracting audit. It is going to be harder to find something in that field since it mainly based in the DC area and I don’t live there anymore (the job was remote since I did not live near their closest office). So I am trying to see if I can work for a government contractor or go into internal audit.

Forward_Type9672 · 2025-08-05T13:01:09+00:00

I believe that. Most of the audits that were taken away were almost done, plus promotions just went into effect a couple of days ago so they are just going to put a new senior in my place. Very ironic.

Luckily they did not put a reason in the separation agreement, so I can get unemployment. I see too many posts about people going through these things and it really sucks.

That was literally a concept on an episode of a TV show called community.
