As some of my friends already know yesterday I lost my job.
I am still feeling a little narked about it and quite prickly.
I feel like I have been shat on from a great height.
My closest work colleague lost her job 2 weeks ago, another friend is likely to lose his by the end of the month.
Why - well it's because it's cheaper to take on people who are single, have no commitments and no disabilities.
To work in the job I've just lost, you have to be ruthless, less than honest and interested in hitting sales targets on a daily basis.
I'm honest, I work hard, I have proved my commitment to the 'company' but because I didn't have the confidence to hard sell to customers who are elderly, on a pension or single parents with limited budgets my employment was terminated at 16.45 yesterday.
They managed to get a weeks worth of work out of me before sacking me! I got 5 sales yesterday too.
But because they had given me a month to improve my sales, I have no leg to stand on.
Now I have to go out there into the world again after 8 months of employment to get another job.
Anyone need a secretary, with call centre experience, worked as a foster parent, life skills tutor, retail... you name it - I've probably done it!
Gutted is probably the word I'd use right now.
Ho hum - off to craft a CV - for the third time in 12 months.
