I've been unemployed for 4 months now and applied to more than 360 jobs according to my tracker.
I resigned in December because I was put on a PIP. It was one of those PIPs that have a 2 week timeline with a laundry list of stuff for someone to do that can't be done in that time frame.
A lot of it was stuff that I had already finished, and my manager forgot about it even though I had documented it.
She had a 1-on-1 with me where she went over the list, and I got angry with her enough to point it out. I could've kept my job if I had just kept my mouth shut, but oh well. I probably would've left anyway since I can't respect her anymore.
I know that I'm not useless like how they tried to make me feel. I even got a phone call from someone who was using an app that I made for support, and I had to tell them that I wasn't working there anymore. That SHOWS that people were using and benefiting from the work that I did.
I fucking hate that I paid all this money for a degree just for shit like this to happen.
I spent so much of my inheritance money on it. I could've just dropped out, joined a trade, and invested it.
Now I'm stuck in the private sector with a bunch of corporate sociopaths that want to fire you for breathing too hard.
I'm 28 M, single, never see my friends anymore, and now this shit.
