Here’s the thing. Sometimes, we simply got screwed over. We worked hard, we qualified, but it didn’t really matter. We have the potential, we’ve got moves, but never got the recognition. And there’s nothing we can do about it.
Except to not give up. We can always try.
That place I used to be happy working for? They got me transfer non-stop. They seemed to offer me a future only to crush my hope. Like an empty can.
One day, I was planning for a secure retirement at the company. The next day, I sheepishly backpedaled. Worse part—you know you deserved better.
Sometimes, people got their jobs rescinded for a good reason. More connections, bigger chances to develop. Do you think this is a kind of cliché that you can only find in stories? No, it exists in real life.
Worst part — you know you actually hadn’t done anything wrong that such thing could happen to you after all.
For me, they just didn’t have room for someone new. The company still needed adjustments here and there, and apparently I was not in the picture. I was qualified. I was only there in the wrong time.
