      COVID-19

      Pros

      I thought that I was valued and made to feel appreciated but this wasn't true.

      Cons

      I was let go in September of 2020 in the middle of COVID-19. It wasn't that I was under performing but rather my title changed from project manager to product analyst. Due to no fault of my own the work became more challenging and I offered to look for a new role. Management agreed this was a good move but only gave me two months to look with no assistance. I bring this up because on LinkedIn there is an article from Symetra starting with, "A serious health event can be difficult for employees and employers..." Personal, I don't think they care about this. I have Multiple Sclerosis and was let go in the middle of a pandemic in the worst job market. I was encouraged to try to come back, look on the job boards. I have applied for just a customer service representative and they would not hire me back. I'm either over qualified or under qualified. I still can't find a new role and unemployment is ending for me. I can't begin to explain how I feel at this moment.
