Absolutely. But it’s their loss. New company is much better.

Yes, but feel better because i was under very bad management. I will definitely get something better

Yes. My old manager left and it was the worst thing that happened. He was invested in my success. New manager was in India and I was in the USA. Sorry but that won’t work for a variety of reasons especially time zone differences. Btw I am Indian. New manager after him was in UK and he tried to restart interesting projects for me but then layoffs came. Two most senior on team, axed.

New company is a dream, better pay (over $30k bump), better culture and my manager truly appreciates me. As a woman I was being underpaid compared to my male colleagues with similar roles, performance and workload which is illegal in my state. And I was underpaid in the market in general.

Best thing I ever did from my old job was to get out even if it was involuntary.

I worked with some horrible people one woman in particular that I had to work closely with. The next day I woke up feeling relief that I didn’t have to ever jump on a call with them ever again.

It was also a really poorly managed company. I was happy to go and probably should have been looking earlier but they kept telling me how important I was. 🙄

Does it matter? What is unjust? I got a new boss. He wanted to build a team of his old buddies. The system granted him that power. It's just the way things go, not something to cry about. I don't want to work for someone who sees me as an obstacle that is in the way of their agenda. I want to work with people who want everyone to succeed. Individual success => team success => company success. Buuut, he didn't see it that way. Oh well. Thank you, next.

Yes, they did layoffs right before issuing bonuses. For the record I did not get my bonus when I worked the entire 2023 year, my layoff was not bc of performance and they took back all my equity. What is even the point of working at a startup if you can’t take the equity you earned with you after leaving?

Perspective. I’m retiring from the service and I’ve positioned myself decently to be competitive. I have a graduate degree pursuing a doctorate, LSSBB, ScrumMaster, SPHR, and PMI-ACP. I’ve been offered two positions that are great and on the human capital team. For someone in this situation where should I be looking as commensurate with my certifications and experience?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞
