Square One

Hello, Happy Friday! Well this week was a pretty bad week, things did not work out for me at my new job, so I'm back to square one, looking again. It's probably a blessing in disguise, as it was a really hard and stressful job. I've been going through the feelings of devastation to oh well maybe something better will come along, it was just not meant to be. Apparently I did not live up to their expectations during the training. I was in a "Training Class" where I thought I would be taught "everything" I needed to know about the place, so I was relaxed in a sense, thinking if I made a mistake or had trouble learning something, it would be addressed and corrected before they would let me go. I thought there would be much more support than there was, especially where I was referred to them through Mass Rehab, but I was sadly mistaken. I would not recommend to any of my friends around here to work at Blue Cross and Blue Shield , especially if you are rehabilitating yourself like I have been doing the past two years. It was the worst working experience of my life. I have never left any job feeling so bad about myself. The worst part is here in Massachusetts you are an "employee at will" which means you can be let go at anytime for any reason, no liability on the employers part. They can skip right over a warning and let you go, nice huh! So once again I need a little inspiration. I found this on Facebook and it could not be more perfect for me right now. I hope it reminds you out there too that no matter what, hold your head up, and never ever allow anyone take away your dignity.
Thanks for visiting,
Janet :)

  1. Oh, I'm so sorry, Dolly. It's an awful job market but hopefully something will come up. My daughter is also looking for a job. She's another fresh college graduate statistic. Good luck in finding something that is just right!

  3. Dear Janet,
    I have a feeling this job wasn't good enough for such a lovely, thoughtful and warm person as you are. It was way too stressful and in time it would've taken the life out of you and you deserve a beautiful life.
    I hope a better job will soon show up for you. Until then, hang in there and count on my support :)

    Hugs and kisses

    1. I just love ya Petro, you always give me such wonderful words of support and encouragement. Your perspective I feel is spot on too. I would have been a life draining job each day for the buck. Thank you for always making me feel better and comforted. Big {{{Hugs to you}}}

  4. Never surrender! Words to live by, I think Jan. We have such faith things will work out, and then BAM, another hurdle. We just have to keep jumping!

  5. If I may, I think this happened merely to prove you that there are jobs out there and you need not to be discouraged. You just need to keep looking Janet. We've all been there, at least once, some of us are still stuck in this situation. You are not alone, we are all struggling...

    1. I guess Unikorna, it's just discouraging when you think your all set, ready to build a career at a place that you really wanted to be at, and then you feel like you've been slapped in the face and sent home. I know others are struggling too, but this is my blog and I'm just writing about my situation and my feelings.
