Will I get fired on Monday?
OK, these past couple of days have been quite eventful…. As I have previously stated I was (and still am) seriously thinking about leaving my current job. On Wednesday I had a meeting with my TL to discuss this. During this meeting he said that “we could part ways” and if it came down to this he wouldn’t be able to help me, because he didn’t see much activity on my part. Now I can’t say this surprised me, it is true that for the past couple (or more) months I haven’t been the most productive person in the company…. What can I say, I don’t get a tasks, I am left to find work on my own which after 2.5 years working with the same sites and same products is a bit difficult. And when I told him that I was seriously thinking of leaving his response was “That may be the best course of action”
On Thursday (yesterday) I had an interview regarding a job, which went well, but I am not the perfect candidate, so I really doubt I will get the spot. Anyway after the interview I was thinking of talking to the HR and give them my notice. But when I went in the office I found out that my TL, the same person who said we may part ways, resigned. The management in Ireland locked our AdWords accounts without a notice, because they were planning a change, and that was the final step which pushed him over the edge. What can I say, I can’t blame him. Anyway, because of his sudden resignation I decided I will wait until the meeting with the new management in August and decide what to do then. Maybe there will be some changes which will keep me in the company, or maybe not. And besides – I still don’t have another job….
And then there is today. I got a mail from the HR who wanted to have a meeting with me. Now this can’t be a good sign given the conversation I had with my, at the time still active, supervisor. But then there is this other e-mail from one of the managers who is giving me the logins to another AdWords account, asking me to take it over… meaning more work (which is a good thinh considering I have no idea how to fully ocupy my time.)
So will I be “released” on Monday? Maybe, probably, most likely… Stay tuned to find out if I will get the pink slip…
I’d say there’s a good chance of you getting your TL’s job, if they’re now entrusting you with the Adsense account details. My advice take the new responsibility and ‘added work’ do it for a couple weeks and initiate a chat about your job title/pay reflecting the work your now performing which should in theory be a higher level right?
That is extremely unlikely, considering the fact that there is no one to “lead”, not to mention my “behavior” these last couple of months
And thanks for stopping by
You’re gone.
Your former manager no doubt resigned because he had a new job to go to.
He made sure to tell HR that you’re superfluous to needs before he left.
Sucks.
Good luck with finding a new job; hope it’s something that inspires you a bit more.
