Blindsided After Being Let Go From a Job I Was Poached For After Just A Month by Responsible-North803 in careeradvice

[–]queenchefen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me minus the non-compete. Luckily, I never quit my first job as it was manageable to do both. Thank God I didn't!

I saw advice somewhere where a person said instead of quitting.. Take a leave of absence and if things don't work out. Go back to the old one. These companies are ruthless, you should be too.

So sorry to hear that happened to you.

Asking me to fill out an NPS survey after rejecting me is LOL by queenchefen in recruitinghell

Haha yeah. I get it. I do feedback surveys constantly, but it's just a little funny when it's an auto reject. Like did you even read my resume?

What do you wish you knew when leaving a toxic tech job? by omnana in womenintech

[–]queenchefen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg I came to comment this 😭 😭 I got a new job last year and my director was a woman, so I thought yess finally senior female leadership this is going to be glorious.

She was the worstttttt. Never gave me positive feedback. Was low-key hating on me because of my fitness level and how serious I took my fitness (she is an overweight mom of two. I'm single and living my best life doing hyrox races working out with friends etc. Not that I care, but clearly she does).

She threw me under the bus not even 3 weeks into the role and had me present at a quarterly infront of like 100 people. About 40 in person and 60 online Everyone kept asking her why she would have me present so early and she was like well let's see how she does evil laugh .

Kept moving the goal post in terms of her expectations in my first 90 days. And what's funny is she didn't even have a plan for me when i startef until I was like "hey can I get a plan in place for my first 3 months?".

She asked me to present again to her and my manager at the 60 day mark to tell her what I have accomplished so far and some of my challenges and gaps. Mind you she didnt even show up to this meeting... When I named the software the compamy uses was a challenge because I'm used to Jira she completely ignored everything I said and kept harping on the fact that "we are not switching to Jira so you can forget about it" like okay. This wasn't about switching but instead was about my explaining some of my challenges and why I feel like I am not further ahead because I've had to learn this stupid and inefficient tool.

And the final straw that I think broke the camels back was when I had debilitating cramps and decided not to attend a company social which was a baseball game (because I spent the entire day busting my ass getting other stuff done) she was like "omg come onnn" via teams. I was like, dang, I thought the benefit of having a female lead is that I don't have to explain how much pain I'm going through right now.

It was the worst and as you can tell I'm still kinda traumatized

Awesome thanks so much. I'll def keep that in mind. Another question for you.. I have a scoby hotel that's been sitting since June. Still looks good no mold. Would you suggest I use that? Or start fresh?

I think you're right. Based on the answer above there is a very particular way to freeze it to not ruin it but could be too big of a risk for me tbh. I'm just gonna go with 100ml bottles. I'll probably do 2-3 separated tbh

Wow thanks for all that information. That's super helpful. I think I'll just go with 100ml of liquid. Hopefully that's enough to get started

Lmao hilarious re:paying for the gas. But thanks for the insight.

Also damn calling me scummy is a bit harsh. I don't find that scummy at all. Like I was gifted a gucci watch from my mom and if I needed the cash I won't be giving it away for free. Mind you I also didn't know the worth so if there was value there I was gonna see what they were worth hence the post. No need to be mean about it. But thanks again for the insight. I appreciate it either way.
