[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it. I was unfairly fired from a govt contractor I was employed with for over 10 years, no issues until the end and very good reviews. The customer complained about me not doing a task with no written or verbal directions (basically a competitor set me up) but my managers didn’t back me (even though they knew what was happening all along) because the customer is always right. Also, they didn’t want to have to pay me severance so they pushed me out to satisfy the toxic customer who btw had recently similarly removed 5 other senior consultants from other govt contractors.

I have a tentative job offer but I dread returning to a potential toxic workplace with government staff who don’t appreciate their contract staff and sometimes treat us badly.

The sad thing is I really liked the job I lost. I was remote, making good money, finally had work life balance. Now I’ve got a big pay decrease, 3 hr commute, & working in a very very white space. I guess this is my grieving period. [/quote]

That commute is toxic. Fix that and you are half way there.[/quote]

I wish I could! I unfortunately cannot afford to move closer to dc on an 80k pretax salary raising a kid. [/quote]
