| Job 1: Graduated college and got a job in my major Job 2: Economy shifted (dot-com bubble popped.) CEO asked me to over bill hours to our largest client Job 3: Company went bankrupt Job 4: Ran my own company for 13 years. Went to Burning Man and it flipped switches in my brain. I could no longer stand working alone in my basement and got a regular job Job 5: After a fun 3 years, Board of Directors seized control of the company, fired the founder/CEO, and replaced managers with people from their last startup. I gave it a year, but we didn't click and I left over personality differences. Job 6: Best job ever. Company and I both took a risk as I was under-qualified but the position was open for more than a year. Eventually wasn't able to perform as needed and we decided to separate. Cool company let me stay on as long as I needed to interview, let me make contact with anyone in their LinkedIn network, etc. Fired in the nicest way ever and still respect them. Job 7: Myself an several others injured during office renovation. The office turned into a literally a toxic environment. After returning from Worker's Comp, CEO started referencing imaginary "performance problems" and thought our injuries were all "pre-existing conditions" despite OSHA investigation. Decided I liked being able to breathe air and not worry about getting fired. Job 8: Having a great time with new coworkers and hope I stay here a long time! (This covers 1996 to 2020) |
