Second day back at work, called into boss's office and told they're not renewing my contract into a permanent role. Two years at this workplace, pushing myself to my absolute limit, but I guess because I don't regularly work past 5 (coming in well before anyone else mind you), I'm not keeping my job.
It'll be fine in the long run. We have some savings. But goddamn. Not looking forward to going on Jobseeker, hopefully I can get something quick.
Start acting your wage. Fuckem. They broke the code first.
Won't lie, definitely considering completely slacking off between now and my last day. After all, they don't intend to keep me, so why put my all in?
They've curated exactly the sort of loyalty they want, after all
That's brutal, dude. Good luck! So bullshit that coming in early isnt as valued as staying late.
Agreed. Really appreciate it, fingers crossed all goes well.
Ouch. Hope you find something that's a better fit for you soon.
Good luck.
π«man that sucks. Hope you find something soon
Thanks mate. It'll be rough seas for a minute, but I'll find something.
That's fucked man. I hope you find something better soon.
Malakas.
