I couldn't concentrate.

Because I kept printing t-shirts and cups upsidedown
I've always managed to leave my career jobs before shit hit the fan, but I did get asked to not come back to one of my college tutoring gigs because I told the kid's dad I didn't like the IP phones he had installed on campus.
Help desk for a tech company (hourly, not salary). They wanted me to be on the on call rotation for systems I wasn’t qualified to oversee, and not pay me extra during the on call shifts. It was at that moment I stopped giving a fuck about that job and productivity and project completion both dropped off. Was justifiably fired a few months later.
Never ever work for a company for free.
Because the owner had lent fruit to his sons failed smoothie business that was several hundred thousands in debt.
I got hired the next day in his wifes business. Doing the exact same thing. Missed a month of pay. Dumb pig
End of April this year, literally asked another teams manager if they needed help but I didn’t want to handle users if they could help it. They took it the wrong way (???) and their manager brought in my manager and I was termed for being “unprofessional”. Almost 6 years with this org. New job is so much better with a pay bump on top of it.
I just got fired mainly because of shortage of work but also because of concentration disorders and not ending errors in my work due to my depression/ptsd... Feels weird...
