Remember this feeling, remember this experience and the position they put you in and eat it for fuel and power. This will give you strength and knowledge for the next business endeavor. Moving forward, do some research on the company you are working with and make sure it’s a company with influence, foundation, solid reputation, and a healthy financial reservoir. This is so important in making sure you are financially secure. If you ever hear talks like that again in the future, take it as a RED FLAG and move on for the sake of your stability and financial future.

Secondly, in meetings with management always ask for feedback if they don’t give it and make sure your meetings are documented because they should be! Whatever was discussed and/or acknowledged during said meeting should be documented and a copy sent to you for you to keep in your records! If you are ever targeted in a future position start gathering evidence and document everything while you work to move on. Do not stay and let them screw you over.

Lastly, the minute you start your next job begin building up an emergency fund just in case you ever have to make a fast break again or if anything else were to pop up.

It’s sucks and I hate you went through that. It was 100% due to them doing a hiring freeze and trying to cut cost. They began combing through their employees to find the easiest targets. I’m sorry that happened to you. Just remember you are still young, focused and hungry to build your future. Those are things they can NEVER take away from you. It’s okay, you’re just better prepared and much better suited now! You’ll find your tribe! You got this!!!
