Heartless American Corporation

Yep, I am back after a dry spell in posting.

Can't believe my "new job" as a financial analyst at a fortune 500 company has ended in being told to turn in my resignation letter. Lesson in office politics I guess. This after working 13 hour days trying to "save" my job or was I just biding time? I think it was the latter since I had been telling everyone I work well with at work that I would be fired after my 90 day "improvement period". Needless to say when I was in the HR meeting and they gave me the "bad news" and that it was a lot to process so I could take the rest of the day off if I needed to. I felt like most people would start crying at the point? In a lowered tone of voice I said, "yes, I think I will take the rest of the day off to think about it and get my new job search started." Inside my head, however, I was saying thank god I am getting the H out of this stupid place! The next day I went in and told my coworks I hadjust been liberated and would be leaving this corporation in 30 days.

Unfortunately the end is Dec 31 (great timing with the holiday) but I am searching and confident.
