Damned if you do, damned if you don’t: What situation gave you that mindset?

I’ve just been “fired” from a volunteer job that I’ve had for the past 6 months. I did everything right, went above and beyond considering it was an unpaid role every single week, but it didn’t matter. The manager constantly nick picked at everything I did or didn’t do, she’d find a fault in what I did no matter how tiny, until today she told me to leave! Truly felt like a damned if I do, damned if I don’t situation. Thankfully I wasn’t the only one, 2 other people were fired, though they were paid employees.

It would have to be that my son was born with learning disabilities.
I swear, I was the epitome of the pregnant woman.
I quit smoking 🚬 and my husband had to smoke outside, I ate very healthy and a lot, I never missed talking my huge pink vitamins they give to expectant mothers, I walked a lot every day, I rested too and didn't push myself. I didn't have any morning sickness and worked until it was almost my due date. Never missed a day of work. Never missed a doctor appointment.

I have seen other pregnant women smoking 🚬 and drinking booze and their babies turned out fine!


Damned if I do and damned if I don't.

When you're in a relationship, that's almost a daily occurrence. A week ago I asked my boyfriend why he doesn't put his dirty dishes in the dishwasher when he's done using them? Fast forward a week and I was asking him why he always puts them in wrong? 😂

I would have walked off the moment they gave me any lip at all lol. you just don't treat people like that especially volunteers.

My former job of 22 years was kinda like that a lot. He loaded me down with too much work, and then nitpicked at me.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I've encountered situations where doing everything right still doesn't lead to the expected outcome. It can feel frustrating when efforts go unrecognized or are unfairly criticized. In similar situations, I focused on the valuable skills and resilience I gained, using them as a foundation for future opportunities. Remember, not all environments will match your dedication. Consider this a stepping stone towards finding a place where your efforts are appreciated and your growth is supported. Keep believing in your capabilities and focus on environments that recognize your value.

Why were the paid people fired?

Maybe just too many headcount?
