A Guy I Know Making $15,000 Monthly Trembled on Immediate Termination. He Upsets Me.
Yes, I am [really] upset. Here’s why.
Can a 5-digit monthly salary be a comfort trap?
I don’t know. Could be. People I know earning this amount seem vulnerable to corporate fat-trimming. Way, way, way too many are asked to find greener pastures.
Ryan’s story is slightly more extreme. He wasn’t just terminated. He was terminated with immediate notice. And he was given 2 hours to pack his bags.
And oh. He was tossed into PIP [short for Performance Improvement Program] thrice before this.
Not once. Not twice.
Thrice.
There must be something about Marketing Directors
I don’t know why Marketing Directors get fired all the time.
Many friends I know ventured into and attained the apex positions in the marketing domain. They know the ins and outs of their work, can be very funny, and are masters at grabbing attention.
They always teach me something new.
Yet… fingers in the boardroom always point to them when there is a bad quarter. Or when the company got slammed by equity analysts.
