Coffee? CHECK. Baked bread? CHECK. Not dead? CHECK.

Off to a good start.

Got a dogshit performance review because I did not conform to the pointless metrics we’re judged against, like ‘Positivity’ and ‘Responsiveness’ (because I didn’t smile every day and I don’t answer teams messages after hours.) I hate this job. Fuck capitalism.

Oh not joy, Fake joy!

Hang in there OP, I left the company I worked for early last year for reasons like that. Sure isn’t the easiest thing to do (x-gen here) but I feel like it’s always tm a good solution when your job sucks(the soul out of you).

Depression sets in pretty early, lmao, as expected. Wonder how long do I have left in me.

Good luck on trying to kick that state this year. Keep up the good fight!

New Year’s Eve was typical for me. I fall asleep way too early. We watched the fireworks from Sydney streaming live. Wow what a show! My goal is to get everything in order to retire this year. There’s so much to do, wading through all the healthcare options is probably the biggest.

I’m to be dismissed from my job Jan 3.

I guess I have prospects. Still, it’s a hell of a kick in the teeth, I’ve never been involuntarily terminated from a job in my entire life.

Any positive learning experiences to take away from the situation? I hope that any gap in between work is as low stress as possible. Best of luck!

I know I’m lucky – I’m in a senior position in my career, so it’s likely I’ll find something new for the same or similar salary.

Still, it was completely unprovoked. I had nothing but glowing performance reviews, nothing like an HR writeup or anything.
