Re: re: I done messed up

Hey Savages,

I know a few of you are watching my saga like your daily soap... jk 😂

But if you saw this https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/i-done-messed-up or this https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/update-re-i-done-messed-up

I have another update. I was fired today.

But I got a pouring of outcries and I cant believe this from some fellow coworkers. It was bitter sweet, company is going down stream not up and apparently I'm too expensive for a clientele they don't plan on targeting until some major product improvements. (HR said I should apply again in a year 🤣🤣🤣 that ain't happening)

However the Rollercoaster continues because I've scheduled 3 interviews tomorrow (4th being scheduled) all with significant pay increases and Repvue verified commission. 2 are senior level referrals and 1 is a former sales VP of mine who heard about the cuts and said "If you're on the market I need you on my team"

This is the way.

Good luck for the interviews, getting fired might just have been the thing you needed to get to the next level in your career

Ah the value of making friends, or at least having folks you'd be willing to ride to battle with in sales. Glad to hear your network thinks you're more valuable than your (now ex-) employer.

Get out there and find you some more fun coupons.

This is awesome - you were never going to happy long term staying there in any case. No point in bringing toxic stuff like that into your life.

Reading everything you've posted to date, it was either:

A) You were going to quit anyhow
B) They push you out

Seems like it's B), but really in the grand scheme of things... no harm, no foul. Maybe this is the push you needed to really get going. As Oasis would say.. don't look back in anger.

📈 <== This is you

That's more or less what my VP said. If we kept you, you'd be gone anyways.

And I'm pretty excited about some of the opportunities. Plus they gave me severance so I'll be fine
