so you're honing your CAD skills?  that's a good transferable skill to have.

sorry they've been such bastards towards you.

Yes, I am honing my Inventor skills. I already had some experience, but never as much as this. So I am learning as much as I can.

And to make things clear, I am not angry at the company for letting me go. I have a contract for one year, so the chance that I would not work there after January was always on my mind. I also understand that they will not give me important assignments anymore, because they have lost the trust in me. I only wish they gave me something worthwhile to do. They finally did, with the 3D drawings, but it was not intentional. Some one else was supposed to do it, but he refused. Also wish they were more straight with me about the reasons. Sure I can't work there anymore, but at least give me some concrete reasons. But in the long run, I would not make a lasting career over there, the work itself is not really my thing. So it is better that I leave after one year than stay for more years just to improve my résumé.

That sucks Iga.  But there is a lot of upside (you are getting paid and can look for other jobs without worryign about money).  Sounds like a dysfunctional company.

The company is fine for the most part, they do not pay much, but the atmosphere is awesome. They do suck at letting people go. A good friend of mine was recently canned, I only found out, when asking where he was. You have a guy one day and then suddenly he is gone, no explanations at all. Seriously retarded, at least let other people know before hand, so they can say good bye.

With this out in the open, was the drink spilling deliberate?

No the Laptop was a 3D drawing kind of laptop. If I had done it on purpose, I would have spilled it on my own laptop.

Sucks iga. Really sucks. Sorry to hear that.

Guys, don't feel bad, this happened back in July/August. It is a done case. I know this job is not really suited for me, I accepted that quickly. The problem is too find a job that is suited for me, and apparently doing nothing does not count. I am still figuring out what my next career step should be. Have some ideas, but no rush. Money is not a problem.

These may well be the reasons.  Companies have ways of latching onto those things very quickly and many employers will let you go if they realise you don't feel it's "your calling" however competent and good at your job you may be.  They feel you are not worth their long term investment

Are you really a henchman for some evil conspirator and your colleagues are randomly being bumped off?
