Update: Lost my job

Hey all!

Towards the end of December I made a post on here the day I was let go from my job as I was really lost and feeling useless. For those who hadn’t seen the post, I was let go and HR acknowledged that they should’ve hired someone who had more experience than I did, and essentially gave me no help despite me giving it my all.

Creating this post because I wanted to say thank you to the amount of people who took time out of their day to give me amazing advice and made me feel so much better in an awful situation. If you were one of them or someone who upvoted my post: thank you!!

I put up an open to work on LinkedIn and my boss from my role previous to this one texted me and invited me back with open arms, and I couldn’t be happier!

Losing that role also allowed me to take a step back over Christmas and evaluate where I am, and myself and my friend have decided to head to Canada for a couple of years at the end of the summer for a sense of adventure and to try something new (new job is aware and supportive of this) If I was still in the old place, I’m not sure I’d have come to this conclusion.

If anyone finds themselves in a similar situation just remember that if you look for the light you can often find it, but if you look for the dark that is all you will ever see.

Thanks guys, a great bunch of lads ye all are.
