00:04:04.940 than a week of work was a blessing in disguise the experience taught me that not every opportunity is
00:04:10.460 a good opportunity but more importantly protecting my mental health and having employers see the value
00:04:15.580 in me is more important than earning money my boss refused to take my advice i didn't think it was that
00:04:20.540 big of a deal that my former boss wanted me to switch gears to social media marketing after i applied
00:04:25.900 an indeed for an office coordinator role after all i did list my social media marketing skills on my
00:04:31.340 resume after i accepted the new role over the phone with her general manager i looked forward to honing
00:04:36.860 in on my creative skills while helping a small independent business grow and gain more customers but how
00:04:43.660 can i help someone who refuses to listen to my advice my boss wanted her social media marketing to look
00:04:49.980 a certain way showcasing stock photos of attractive women with outdated fonts see this is the thing 1.00
00:04:57.660 the younger generation tends to think their opinion matters but the person that's paying you's opinion
00:05:04.620 matters yours not so much my boss wanted her social oh i showed her the analytics on the low performing
00:05:11.180 social media posts and that i knew how to update her online presence to gain more customers but she refused
00:05:16.700 to absorb anything i had to say so i followed her creative lead until i became overwhelmed by her
00:05:21.340 demands um okay wait this is uh i was shocked to find out that my boss wanted more from me than what
00:05:30.220 i produced on my third day that's such a funny on my third day i started a project to build posts for
00:05:38.620 the company's social media accounts and researched her competitors special offers i presented everything she
00:05:44.460 asked for while she seemed happy with my social media posts and the offers that i found she needed
00:05:49.180 more from me without warning she asked which products and other social media spas i used or which
00:05:55.740 products other social media spas used i spiraled into a tailspin i didn't know anything about specific
00:06:02.300 products in the medical spa industry i didn't even know what she wanted me to research she never brought up
00:06:07.420 my level of product knowledge in our initial interview nor did she ask me to find out about our
00:06:12.060 competitors products when explaining the project to me i mean isn't that something you could google
00:06:18.380 she said i should have known to research the different products used by our competitors then
00:06:22.300 she lost a list of other deliverables that i should have done after a few minutes of her feedback i felt
00:06:27.740 overwhelmed mental health and respect at work are mandatory i stood up to her and told her i needed
00:06:33.820 a break so i walked toward the front door she stopped she tried stopping me i didn't give in i already 0.99
00:06:39.340 vowed to never let anyone disrespect me at work i said ma'am respectfully i need to step outside and
00:06:44.460 take a breather i'll be back in a few minutes she fired me saying i wasn't going to work out for her 0.99
00:06:49.820 i thought to myself oh awesome as i tried to keep my demeanor professional i was so pissed off to be
00:06:55.020 fair i wanted to quit so she got me before i got to her as i approached the front desk i looked at the
00:07:00.460 general manager and trainer and told them that i was fired the general manager offered me a recommendation
00:07:05.020 letter despite the drama i said goodbye to my co-workers after two and a half days i felt like
00:07:10.620 a failure after two days and about six hours of work on day three i said goodbye to my co-workers
00:07:16.620 and told them i was fired and i walked out the door for the last time but i felt really depressed too
00:07:21.740 i texted 9-1-1 to my mom while she was at work and started sobbing on the phone with her in the
00:07:25.980 parking lot i kept apologizing to her for being a failure even though i knew i worked in a toxic work
00:07:31.180 environment and afterwards afterwards i spent a month in bed while working remotely for another
00:07:38.540 company i've i just spent a month in bed she just said why they fall oh my gosh i've been in the
00:07:46.940 workforce since i was about 16 or 17 and have worked with various age group that said some gen c workers
00:07:52.380 are lazy and unreliable and i've seen tech talks that say gen c is rude too at the same time we want
00:07:57.420 what everyone else wants for our employers to value us to enjoy our jobs in our work environment
00:08:01.900 and receive proper training so that we'll thrive see gen z is the only ones it's true that feel 0.98
00:08:06.140 entitled to this i mean other generations kind of knew you ate shit gen z women i should say gen c men 1.00
00:08:14.700 i actually you know for all the flack they get in the news and stuff the gen z guys i know are doing 0.97
00:08:20.300 pretty well they really are um it's the ladies they're we're having a harder time uh gen z knows
00:08:27.100 they're somewhere better for us while the older generations might have to put up with toxic work 1.00
00:08:31.180 environments we're speaking up for ourselves and not settling so not only you know you guys think
00:08:36.620 you're special like when women say we're not going to settle for average guys women aren't going to
00:08:40.700 settle for anything even you know at work so i'm more than happy to receive constructive criticism as long
00:08:46.140 as the feedback does not cross the line and to degradation and disrespect the workforce commonly
00:08:51.900 changes and employers must be open to flexibility growth and change gen z know that knows there's
00:08:57.180 somewhere better for us if we don't get what we want out of the job that's why i'm working with a
00:09:01.260 reputable advertising agency that respects me advocates for mental health and cultivates a fun
00:09:06.780 and enjoyable work environment as an employee it's not on me if the boss doesn't want to learn or be
00:09:11.980 flexible i can't help the box to grow boss to grow and i can't help a toxic work environment grow either
00:09:19.820 there you go you know it's just you know sometimes in life um you get fired it's just not your fault
00:09:25.980 there's nothing you could have done either you weren't adequately prepared and you did the best you
00:09:29.740 could or it just wasn't the right fit you know um but there are times when it is your fault and when
00:09:36.060 your boss is yelling at you to saying you want to take a mental health break i think that'll do it 0.90
00:09:42.780 i really do um but let me know what you guys think in the comments and let me know did you guys ever
00:09:47.420 hire a woman or a man that was fired for very good reason let me know in the comments like the video i'll
