seriously.

i lost my job today.

i'm not even joking.

apparently the powers that be in kelowna think that i wasn't the right fit for the job because, after 5 weeks, i wasn't a marketing queen and making them buckets of money.

in those 5 weeks, i received no training, no orientation, and looked bad when i didn't do things that i had no idea even had to be done ... because i had no training and no orientation. i had taken over a position that had not been consistantly filled since january ... i had no files, no notes to help me along ... i was thrown into the middle of the ocean and excepted to swim.

i am humilated and embarrased ... and angry.

5 fucking weeks.

mother fuckers.

Wow. This place is imploding from within. They couldn't even get it together to sort out who to invite for a business trip. Very poor form. Sorry it's back to the drawing board for you. Sheesh.

it's just ridiculous. apparently, i was supposed to learn the job by osmosis ... the need to be pyschic and a miracle-worker wasn't mentioned in the interview. urgh.

this is a bad time of year to be unemployed ... with summer vacations and all, people aren't on the search that much. and i don't get any severence.

i'm trying not to think about it ... but it is scary.

Why don't they just kick you while you're down? That's so awful. I hope you find something better really soon.

So sorry to read this. As if things aren't stressful enough right now. Hopefully you will find something you really like.
