Integrity Vs Reality

I had a layoff in 2020 after the Broadcom Symantec acquisition, I was always over achiever with high credibility and got approached by Microsoft, Palo Alto , GSIs … however I was not ready, during early Covid days unfortunately I have got divorced and separated from my kids, which has totally paused my passion towards productivity, I couldn’t make a decision to move forward with any new opportunity avoiding failure in delivering sales objectives while busy with personal issues. I don’t accept earning a single $ without fulfilling the return. Hiring managers didn’t buy my common excuse “I have personal commitments and I cannot make it this time”, other closed industry colleagues advised, go take it, make money, if it didn’t work they will terminate contract! It took me +2 years fixing personal situation and it’s done, while I have survived on part time services and academic learning for ongoing knowledge development. I’m up again and ready to run since 6 months ago, the people of the companies who approached me earlier closed doors and most of interviewers looks into this gab and my new location - I cannot disclose the background to them, while I focus on delivering professional values. I strongly believe it’s about time and I will back soon better than before, it’s just being patient. Your thoughts , recommendations ! #layoff #sales #channel YOE: 18 Location: UK Status: Work permitted

It's funny how people have these things called "morals" that somehow are important yet it constantly fucks up their lives meanwhile companies have no "morals" and do just fine. You should have taken the job, performed below optimal then in 2 years you'd perform better than ever and the company will magically think they did a great job hiring you afterall as they fostered a learning environment.

Indeed. You have nailed it “Moral punishment” and I have paid this tax without feeling sorry and I won “myself” in return, therefore I’m confident next coming recovery will be better.
