The first place I was in (full time contract) held a meeting between management and HR and said I could leave the job there and then and be paid for the three months notice I would have worked. I hated the environment in that place so I was glad to go. I was told in the past while in this job that I wasn't productive enough. I worked here just under a year,
The second place did not renew my 3 month temporary contract citing performance and quality issues. This does not make sense as I focus a lot on detail so the quality should at least have been good. Four other temporary staff were kept on after their contracts ended. Out of the 5 temporary people, I was the only one not kept on.
Is this a pattern that's going to keep repeating itself? Saddening if so. Do they see the aspergers and make excuses to get rid of me? I thought my work quality was far better than others who were more pally with management (in other words the *** lickers).
I have always found I need to keep starting again in life. I'm in my 30s and it's back to the drawing board.
Didn't get my first job until 35 when I was diagnosed
Wanted one, didn't enjoy being unemployed
Going back now over 30yrs ago. I worked in an office, it was a family business started by MDs great grandfather, and passed on. So from the day he was born this MD musr have been groomed to be a future leader.His attitude stunk, he looked down on people. There was a lot of ill feeling in the building and those that could leave and easily get another job, left.
One day we were all called into the boardroom, and he said he couldn't help but notice the atmosphere, and wondered if anything was wrong. Everyone knew the problem, everyone in the room just looked at each other, but nobody spoke up. Eventually i said ...... It's you ! I know it's only a job to most of us and it must be so much more to you 'cos it's been in your family for generations. Everyone knew i was right, but nobody said a word. He broke up the meeting saying he would think about what i'd said.
I went back to desk and my direct boss called me into his office. He asked why did you say that ? All i could say was well it's true, you know that, and he asked. My boss said to me, you've just handed in your notice, he's not daft he'll not sack you now, he'll bide his time, but believe me, your days are numbered. Sure enough about a year later i was made redundant. I took them to Court for unfair dissmisswal, and won. But by then i didn't want the job back.
That was a long time ago now, when i was in my 20s, but with what i've found out now about autism, was it a problem with me then.......... He asked a question and i couldn't see the problem telling him the truth as i saw it.
