So, my new blog post is finally up. And it is long. Like 2900 words long. So read if if you like and feed me the backs.

Nice work! :tup:

I sense something exactly like this had gone on with you. It's good to hear you're starting to put all the negative of that experience to positive use, because there definitely is positive use. As they say, the real failure isn't in the trying (and not necessarily succeeding) -- it's in the giving up and no longer trying.

Oddly enough, your employer shares a lot of the blame in this. While they were cool to bring you in, it was a failure on their part to position you for a role that you were insufficiently screened for. You had a role too, but as someone who has hired and fired hundreds of people over the years, the role of your employer in this is pretty glaring. That said, on the upside it seems they did some real good here: they recognized you enough as a raw quality employee, but realized they probably miscast you in the wrong role. That's a good sign for both you and them.

Good luck on the next steps, Dhee. :tup:

FIFA generated more than $4 billion in sales from the 2014 World Cup, and is Giving Brazil $100 Million After The Country Spent $15 Billion On The World Cup (businessinsider.com)
I wonder if FIFA will give some money to the families of all the killed and mishandled slaves in Qatar.

Maybe I'm boring, but I was going to say do your best to ignore the woman and keep it just on a professional communication only level.

(Call it a corollary to what X wrote.)
I would vote for this. I do think it might have been a low blow to call the best friend homely, but that is me assuming the friend has no idea what's going on and therefore shouldn't bear any of the insults.
