I refused to adapt to workplace changes and got fired /u/japan_noob CSCQ protests reddit

I’ve been at this company for 4 years now and it started off for the first 3 years as fully remote. Then for the 4th year, my boss hired this extremely corpro-bro manager. This was the downfall of everything.

Things started changing.. the laid back, get-your-work-done workplace became very strict with more constant meetings and micro-managing. I couldn’t stand it from the start and I KNEW from the start of the year things were going to get worst but I still hoped for the best.

It’s important to note that I pretty much refused to return going back to the office after returning and going for 2 months. We’re a small team and I was the only person who didn’t go. Call me stubborn but I always got my work done and went above and beyond with delivery while keeping the quality of work high as I did for the past 4 years.

As the year got closer to the end, I started hearing more complaints about my performance or communication not being “top” “notch” even though I haven’t changed anything other than refusing to return to work and staying remote.

The new corpro-bro started creating the dumbest excuses about me regarding my work performance. Everytime I had a meeting with him, I kept it just as fake as he does. His “I really like you and working with you” bullshit gets me everytime. God, I’m honestly glad I don’t have to every hear this guys voice again.

I know he’s probably super happy that I am finally fired because we’ve disliked each-other from the start but he’s in a higher position.

So now, i’m unemployed in a shit job market, with very limited funds because I had to not only take care of my own adult life but pay for my struggling family as well (which I was glad to do).

I fortunately have my resume and portfolio up to date but now I need to find a job within the next 3 months or else I lose my home and I probably have to sell my car. I refuse to lose it all but I will try my best.

Either-way to anyone being loyal to a company, the moral of the story is you better adapt or get the boot.
