Feels like the first time…

Can’t believe I’ve been in sales for 8 years and never been fired. Well the streak has ended and long story short, got fired by the absolute biggest POS, douchey, slime bag you can imagine. I’ve never seen other team mates be treated so horribly - we’re talking unethical clawback of PTO wages from checks (we have unlimited so wtf?!), refusal to pay commissions already owed, blatant lying…yada yada.

Anyway, got a job offer right away and pushed my start date off so I could sit my ass on the beach with all my severance dough. Barely 2 months in with 4 nice deals sitting in closed won already and wow AM I THANKFUL!! Should have left that dumpster fire long ago so thank you huge douche bag, for saving me from seeing your ugly, incompetent face for 1 more second.

best part is all his “friends” he hired after me all quit within 2 months 😂🤣😂🤣 WHAT a PRICK!

thanks everyone for other posts so I knew I wasn’t alone in my struggle.

Yes, I’m a big believer in karma and I’m proud that I operated to my own ethical standard until the end. Maybe stupid, assholes make money but I gotta live with myself.

Oh man, that's grimy as hell. What a massive twatwaffle.

It really does sound like it ended up with the best outcome.

Never feels good to get fired, but I'm sure it feels good to be killing it at a great new spot. Plus the vindication of all the friends he hired leaving already is the icing on the cake.

Absolutely / definitely fucked with my ego for a bit but in hindsight, good to see he just hated me personally and I’m still a badass!

It's bound to have an ego impact at the beginning.

Just remember you're a badass AND a savage

As they say, it all happens for a reason and luckily for you - the next thing was even better. Sippin beers on the beach with your severance dough - I think it's a great deal! haha

Just know that dumpster fire bosses are dumpster fire people. They are not truly happy or at peace in life. I pity those people.
Just like most cats, you landed on your feet!🐈😼
