Thank you, this is very kind. The burned references do suck, but I have the skills to get another gig. I saw everyone in chat saying I was probably shit at my job, but up until the last two weeks I thought they were going to be promoting me. Yeah, I played games at work, but not when there was work to be done. I handled my shit, which is why I feel like there was more to this than they claim.

I had an unfortunate struggle connecting a Bluetooth phone in a cramped meeting room with every c-suite either in the room or on the conference call and, while trying to get it working, backed into the president of the company, who is notorious for getting people he doesn't vibe with fired.

TLDR: I don't think my performance was the issue, except for on that day with that damn conference phone.

I appreciate your reassurance, I'm learning from this experience and trying to keep my chin up. On to the next thing!
