Professional wreck

[amtz]

Hello LS,

 

 

It's been a while since I last posted in this forum. In the past years I would normally be posting in regards a broken heart or over some chick that broke my heart. Today I'm posting in regards my professional life. Maybe I'm looking for some insight or thought!

 

 

For the past few years I started working for a small local cellphone wholesale place, I started moping and cleaning after a few months I was promoted to sells and a few years later I became store manager. Life was really good at this point in life! I was making a couple grand each month, bought my dream car and dream motorcycle and over all I was surrounded by a lot of "friends". All of sudden my boss was all over my case, the slightest detail was an excuse to start up an argument! I eventually decided to quit. I had nothing to loose! Many of the customers the store had were thanks to me by reaching out to them through facebook or mail. So basically all my ground was covered.

 

 

The following month as I worked solo everything worked smooth! Some dude that I met back in high school started a company of his own in the cellphone business and asked if I wanted to join his crew with a very promising pay scale. At first it was so good to be true! I slept over it several nights and ended up convincing my self that I had nothing to loose again! BOY WAS I WRONG!!!

 

 

After just three months I couldn't stand working for that trash! I was treated so unprofessional. Every day he demanded more and more of me. Basically all the customer base that I had was handed over to him and he still asked more from me. Eventually I had enough of his BS and quit the job before I went MMA on his @$$! This was back in December BTW.

 

 

After that day I lost total contact of my customers.. To my best understand he kept them all and told some crazy a$$ story of me stealing from him. I'm about to go broke! My savings and drying out day by day... I have applied to more than 10 places yet I'm not even called in for an interview... Of course "friends" went away like if I was diagnosed some ultra contagious disease! I feel so mentally unstable, I feel like crying but I can't even cry at all! Today after an entire week I finally went outside to walk my dog...

 

 

I feel lost and unmotivated... God I never thought that I would say this! But I miss having a job! And money has nothing to do with it but the fact of being productive.

 

 

Has anyone gone through such a rough time??

i don't mean this negatively at all, but maybe you're a follower and not a leader. when you were a mopper/cleaner things were going swell and when you took on more responsible jobs and tasks you didn't cope as well. some people just can't handle job stress/management/job demands as well as others. maybe just find something good enough - again - and more opportunities will surface. i think many people who are unemployed have similar feelings, so you're definitely not alone. people complain non-stop about their jobs and how much they hate them, and then long for the social outlet and contact (and money) when they quit.

To make a long story short it wasn't that I couldn't take it any more as a manager! In matter of fact I was doing so darn well that why would I take someone else BS if I was the backbone of the business.... The only reason I accepted the second job was because like I said the pay was well above what I expected and I didn't mentioned this, but had the liberty of doing some side sells for extra income. The ISSUE here was after I got played as a fool and ended up quiting, left in dept and can't seem to find SMALL or BIG job...
