Almost. It really started in February of last year. I've had a few pockets of grace, but they didn't last long.
One job I got terminated without explanation and the other was a temporary position which sucked anyway (especially due to issues like misgendering and microaggressions) so I left before it even ended but it was close to ending when I did.
A few other jobs seemed like promising offers but ended up being misleading and deceptive.
Since this is the only instance where I leveraged networking to increase my chances of getting a job, this one seems to be far more likely to land.
Alas, mine won't stop frustrating me.
Feels good to be assertive for once, though!
Landlords are absolute scum!
This exact theory was coming to my mind, not gonna lie!
Oh, I didn't even respond to those further texts yet. All I've done so far is text her my issues with her framing of this matter, and I specifically made sure to be very polite yet firm in doing so. That flurry of 6 texts she just sent me? I didn't say a word to it, especially since she concluded that this is something we're just gonna wait a few months on before we revisit. I don't have it in me to bite too hard (I've always been a very soft person), but I am certainly not just going to take it without me sticking up for myself at least a little.
The manager for the job referral finally got back to me and wants to schedule an interview!
