I know I could just ask AI to do it all but where is the fun in that?

@santoshhari @pratik That’s been my go to last 2 weeks. I write about my anxieties in a book before sleeping. It’s helped me sleep way better so much after first few days of panic attack.

@santoshhari It’s fine though. I don’t hold grudges against them. White people in general do not grow up like us and fundamentally think differently. My other white colleague who was fired is chilling. She was like yeah me going to take a year break and figure it out. I also feel us being immigrants makes us react to these situations bit more panicky. I have to keep reminding myself everyday I don’t have to panic or be worried.

@santoshhari Of all the people I have reached out so far…. It’s actually only desis who have been super helpful so far. Even the white guy who actually hired me left me with “don’t be hard on yourself” lol 🤷‍♂️

@santoshhari Nope. White. Actually the company does not have that many desis when compared to whites and Asians. I was the only desi PM in the entire ads org (another guy joined 2 days before I was fired).

How shitty was my last company? Even before I am done with the garden leave they opened the exact 3 roles that they laid off (including mine). One of the roles they opened is an exact blueprint…. of the role I defined for the team and took on. Fucking incredible. And then LinkedIn says I am a top match for the role. Fucking yeah, I wrote that goddamn strategy. It never was about performance. It was about Google VPs getting their own buddies. Plain and simple. I was insanely frustrated in morning but hey, it is what it is.

What an absolutely fuck all year this has been career wise. Can’t wait for this year to end.

I am struggling to decide the next course of action to be honest. On one hand I do want a job asap just for own mental sanity and on the other hand I am like why not use the time to upskill properly so I can get the job I want, but that will require time and commitment and not putting myself into this rat race.
