For my first blog, I thought I would discuss how I came to be unemployed. I had to learn the hard way, hopefully anybody who reads this will gain from my experience.
I am a Taurus, if you follow astrology you know that one trait of a Taurus is that we are very loyal. In so much that I am a loyal person, I did what I did.
Let me start from the beginning. I had worked for my former employer (to remain unnamed) for almost 10 years. That much time spent with anyone will create a certain amount of loyalty. I started getting very discouraged with how the management team was running the company, in addition, I was not happy with how the employees were being treated. Top that off with the level of stress I was under as a manager, and I doubt that my looking for a different job would be surprising.
My mistake was giving my boss the heads up that I had started searching for alternate employment. Originally I was told that I would receive help to alleviate some of my stress. the next thing I knew, I was given two weeks notice by my employer.
Needless to say, I felt very betrayed by the very company to which I had tried to be loyal.
So, I hope that this information will help keep some of you employed, even though unhappy, until you can leave on your own terms.
