Wait, before you think this is clickbait, no it isn’t, and I think I have made a record in Job quitting history and so you don’t wonder, I’ll take you through what happened.
A few months ago, I got a call from my sister during the heat of my job hunting, she had called to tell me that someone had a job and if I was interested in applying for it.
Since I was looking for one, I said yes and proceeded to go through the job application process and even a series of interviews.
The job was a marketing Job for a power holding company and even though I hated marketing, it felt like it was better than nothing, well that was until I got the job.
A few days ago, I got a call saying I had gotten the job and I was to report to the office for documentation, I immediately got up, got dressed, and headed out to the office.
Getting there I was given an offer letter that said I will be paid 151 dollars working 8-5 Monday to Friday and even though it wasn’t something sensational, it was doable and I signed the documents.
I started the job the next day and well, I had one of the worst experiences I have ever had, I spent hours walking under the sun and asking people to pay their utility bills and it was so hard because the company hadn’t provided electricity for the past nine days and due to this, people were aggravated and some of my colleagues even got chased with guns, crazy right.
Well, I was still going to continue work at least for a month until the ball dropped and the manager firmly said that we were going to be working Saturday and Sunday with a ridiculous target to meet.
At that moment, I picked up my bag, put in my resignation, and left because I couldn’t even imagine giving my life up which it felt like I was doing.
The sad part was a lot of the employees kept complaining about what was happening but since they had no other option, they stayed and it made me wonder if I would have stayed if I didn’t have hive.
I feel like the major motivation I had to leave was because regardless of everything, I had hive and I was okay with just having that.
While sadly, I am back on the job market once again, I feel like I have so much more in hive than I could ever have in that job and until I find something I consider worth it, I won’t be settling anytime soon.
