I was promoted without discussion with me and then blamed for not being to deliver as a Snr manager. I was told by the VP that she will be mentoring me however she was often busy and cancelled or forgot to cancel our meetings. At any mentoring meetings she had no plan so we would end up with her working on her to do list or the latest fire and me watching. I felt lost and that showed as I switched off from my work. I detached myself and stopped voicing my opinion. I was called into meetings with the VP where she would tell me how I needed to work all hours and how she did when she was my age and that I should find a daycare for my 1 year old, who would keep her until late (7 pm!) so that I would not have to leave work late. Everyone I worked with was either a man or women who did not have young or any kids. There was no empathy. I was offered a demotion and asked to find another job if I didn’t want it. With only 5 days to decide I had to pick the demotion but I knew I had to quit the department at the least. I networked in the company and found another role, however when hr and the VP found out about it they fired me as I had lost their trust!! I wasn’t even allowed to say good bye to my team. I was so embarrassed and it was an ambush so I had no way to defend myself. I would never work there again.
