Help me get through this pain?

Question

Let's just say yesterday was not my day. My manager at my county job work place told me that I struggled at a self defense class and he told me to come to his office. So there I am, Nervous as Helll and he said that I wouldn't be called in anymore to work there's other places out there for me... I had to be a man about it but after I shook his hand and left a tear came down my cheek and yeah I was kind of crying and if anything more mad just because I struggled with one course. I decided to go somewhere further away from that place and just sit in the parking lot for an hour and asking myself "What am I going to do with my life?" See all my co-workers were encouraging and supporting me because they know I'm a good worker but my manager on the other hand lost a good worker... and now I'm left with a minimum wage job that I currently have... Story of my life, yep complicated.

Answer 1

Poor you. Well, nothing anyone says now will help you, but you must believe that years from now, you won't even remember this. Hold down 2 jobs if you must, but if you can, save up enough to attend a course and better yourself. Tell yourself, one day you'll have a good job and you'll visit this manager and tell him the news and you'll thank him for getting you out of there. Talk to someone, a close friend, if you can. Here's a Big hug!!

Answer 2

12 years ago I was hurt pretty badly at my job. It was a good union job that allowed me a pretty good lifestyle. Unfortunately my injuries never let me get back the preformance level or earning potential I once had, so five years ago I realized it was time to pack it in.

I was devestated! I didn't know what I was going to do. I had a wife and three kids I was responsible for. Well to make a long story short, I now manage a team of 12 sales producers and I've never been happier.

Why am I telling you this? Because I have an idea of how you must be feeling right now. Remember my friend, when one door slams shut, another opens. Go find it!
