Can’t imagine why this individual was let go? The letter filled with expletives, no level of personal accountability and victim mentality- shocking this person was not made a Partner day 1.

A number of years ago a Mentor told me the firm should make you happy either while you are here or the day you say goodbye- hope this day individual found happiness 😀

A lot of these comments are the toxicity that person wrote about. Can’t you just sympathize with someone who obviously reached their breaking point instead of just kicking them when they’re already down?

I am really empathetic to the person who had to go through the situation. I would say to some extent I have gone through it at one point in my career and so do many. But one thing I have learnt is I need to take care of myself and cannot depend on others. If I am able to get through big4 , I am confident that I always have other options if things went totally south as in this case. Mental health is of prime importance. No job is permanent and the search for right fit is a journey and only lucky ones find the destination

Oof. That’s rough. I think the lesson here is to never let your company work you so hard that you sacrifice everything else in your life.

I mean, this is the job, right? It’s all “at will” employment that means the company can make the best decision for itself at any time. There’s no contractual obligation that X score = retention. They feel it’s better to go with other employees, not this one. It sucks, it may feel arbitrary, but it’s not unfair. At worst, bad luck.

I mean, what is “unfair?” One could argue that the lack of the things you mentioned IS what is unfair

Welcome to consulting my young friend. Now that you’ve finish your first year rinse and repeat for 40 more. That extra bit you make/should make is why we put up with it. I would make exactly 40k less in industry. I consider that 40k my bonus for the shit I put up with.

Hello Fishes,

Can someone please help me understand the designation name? Also, will I get a project in the same technology for which I was interviewed?

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
