Last year, I was fired for not coming to office on a Sunday.
There were no special occasions or urgencies, except the boss's ego.
On that Sunday, my boss called me and asked me to come to the office.
I had my Sunday planned with a few events - catching up with a few friends,
planning my next week, working on own stuff. So I refused.
He said "Dipanshu, this won't work between us. Maybe we shouldn't work together
anymore."
That was it. I visited the office a few days later to return their laptop.
They were a profitable small service based company with less than a dozen
employees. I had been working with them for 2 months, but I didn't expect this
behaviour.
Anyway, I didn't do anything for a week and recovered from this shock.
A week later, I started applying for jobs, giving interviews. A week after that
I joined a new company and got the best team ever to work with.
No matter how weird the stuff goes, you pause, reflect, and move on.
That's what I learned in 2019, and it helped me immensely in 2020.
What have you learned in 2020 that will help you in 2021?
