Failed

It finally happened. My manager today shared that he will be rating me as “does not meet expectations” for my level. We had talked about it a couple of times before, and he did say that I am improving and likely will make it. However, I can’t believe here I am. A lax manager on my old team promoted me without asking twice. He also gave me a couple of raises. This manager is very much by the book. I don’t know what I have gotten myself into. At the end of the day, I never took this career seriously, so I shouldn’t be surprised that it is treating me this way. I plan on quitting in December. I was going to quit last December, but here we are. I don’t need to be worried. I will do fine. Sure, I will have to rely on my dad, and he can be quite stubborn. However, I can’t keep working a corporate job. The plan is set. For the next six months, I am going to try to give it my best. Be enthusiastic. Repair relationships at work. Do my best. Then I will quit in December. Whatever happens, happens. I am prepping for the GMAT on the side too, and maybe I should take it seriously. Maybe I should prep for law school also, since my father said that he is okay funding it. I will do my absolute best to become a big man. The breakup only made me stronger. It hurt my work ethic a little, but I have recovered now. Work work work!
