    I just got fired… “Not a good fit”. Fuck.

    Edit: I got hired as client services manager, but it was a bait and switch. What they really wanted was a branch manager. Which is a higher paying role.

    I didn’t say anything about it though.

    Ah who knows. I’ve done another 30 or so applications this morning. Only concern is that a lot of places won’t be hiring until end of Jan. Guess we’ll see.

      Oh fuck, sorry.

      Any org heartless enough to do that first thing on 2nd Jan is probably not somewhere you want to be, not that that helps right now.

        They said they were going to do it before the break, but they thought they’d wait till after?! How does that make sense???

      I’ve seen you bounce back from shit jobs a number of times. I’ve even considered messaging you about how you seem to land jobs pretty easily from an outside perspective. For whatever reason you’re ‘not a good fit’ better to be out of there. They might have already had someone in mind and were stringing you along to cover.

        Thanks mate. I was hired as client services, but there was a bait and switch. What they really wanted was a branch manager which they didn’t mention at all until I signed the contract.

        I’ve always gotten positive feedback, and I’ve never once been fired. Literally ever.

        I just hope I can get something soon and not have to wait till the end of January.

        Feel free to message me if you want any advice for the applications process.

      What a horrid start to the year! Ah well, some things are not meant to be. Next place will be better.

      Oh no, sorry to hear it :( Is this the place you interviewed at a few weeks back that were headhunting you?

        Yep this exact place. I’ve never been fired before. Literally ever. I always work my ass off and had done more in 2 weeks than most people do in 6.

        Just totally gobsmacked. But it is what it is.

          Wow that’s such utter shit on their part. Why bother headhunting and recruiting just to bait and switch? You’re definitely better off out of there.

          I hope something great comes up for you very soon.

      So sorry to hear that. From your comment below it sounds like it wouldn’t have been the greatest place to work at, if that’s how they treat employees even at the hiring stage. Best of luck for a new and better job!

        Thanks heaps 🙂 Yeah honestly it wasn’t great but it was paying the bills. Lucky I have a stash to last me for a few months but hopefully it shouldn’t take that long.

      That sucks, but after reading this thread it sounds like they suck more! Possibly you were being used anyway. Better luck for your next job, you deserve better.
