I was REJECTED for an internal position after passing all the required assessments. This was a very toxic work environment.
The manager was bullying and demoralizing everyone on the team, including me. She FIRED me for being honest and expressing my concerns.
Three days later, she offered to come back to my role. I said no, but, no, thank you.
One year later, an AMAZING job offer came my way.
5 Years later, another terrific job offer came my way.
After over 10 years, I realized that this was a stepping stone to better opportunities for me.
Lessons Learned:
1)Leaving an unhealthy work environment is the right decision.
2)Your value does not decrease based on someone’s opinion of you.
3)If one opportunity doesn't go through, many more opportunities will.
4)Never let anyone underestimate you.
5)You must believe in yourself.
