Unfortunately after 3 months, I was let go at my job. So let's look at the emotions I've been through. Mad, upset, angry, sad, and most currently disbelief. I keep thinking it's a weird dream or cruel joke. Nobody has called me and asked me to come back yet.
Here's how it all went down. I stopped by Maurices to grab a sweater to wear over the top I'd chosen for the day and ended up buying two. Then off to work where I was whisked off to the back room. "I'm sorry Amanda, unfortunately, we're going to have to let you go." And there was a typical "It's just not working out" and "We hope the best for you."
It's bitter sweet. I'm upset and angry because I feel betrayed. Yet I'm happy to be out of there if I wasn't wanted. Really who wants to be somewhere that no one wants to work with them? I don't really know if that's how they felt, but that's how it comes across to me. (And honestly who wouldn't want to work with me? I'm awesome!)
I just left there with the impression that people felt like I was telling them what to do. And I find that very odd because I hate confrontation. (I hate it to the point that I will drive myself nuts thinking about it before and after.) So I'm feeling like I had a target on my back. Again I'm stressing that this is just how I felt.
I left one job and took a $700/month pay cut. Now I'm out of a job period. So where to now? I have no clue what I want do. Do I look for an office job? Or maybe go back to retail? Any suggestions out there? I just feel like I'm done with the hair industry. I love it but after 7 years I'm still not making it.
So I think that's most of it. It's really hard to put down in words but there it is
