Here we go again. 2024 has probably been the worst year of my life.
Job I started in September comes to an end today. I was told a few days after Election Day. Wasn't even given 60 days to prove myself. Somehow it was my fault that they didn't have enough work for me to do, and it was also my fault the other business analyst wouldn't share her knowledge with me. I was supposed to pick up system knowledge on something I didn't have access to. Was also told that "you weren't the guy we interviewed". Today, I am the ONLY person in the office. I'm supposed to leave my laptop, access card, parking tag, and anything else in the cube, take a picture, and text it to the program manager/office manager. So, they trust me enough with all that, but not enough to keep working here.
Honestly though, I never felt like I fit in with this small start-up. Never felt comfortable. These people have been together for over a year and went through a private equity sale. I don't think they completely were onboard with a new person coming in when I did - hence the reluctance to share work and knowledge...yet I kept hearing the BA whine about not having help.
Not to mention, the day before Christmas, I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I guess that's what happens when you are so stressed and depressed about everything, you just struggle to get through the day. Christmas itself was just another day.
So, I just need a job - I'll take almost anything almost anywhere but sales. I just don't even care at this point.
