Did you get paid during the time ? What went through your head that you managed to keep being there for such long time and not to search for different job ? Also from your story it looks like it left quite a stain and still is not washed.
I think its good to look at things as you are(or were) in the leading position(of your life) and where did you made bad decisions. Not to put all the 'bad' stuff you regret on someone else,whether it is company or individual. How else you gonna fix it ? At the end you decided to go there, stay there, get upset and leave. It was tough but the people around you just did what they were asked to. Once you take 100 procent of responsibility on yourself and your decisions even if you are employed you will feel way more free and satisfied and from this state of mind you can for example think of your startup/idea and get fully independent on the physical plane as well. And not thinking of some revenge still being in past..
- peterjancelis 13y agoI didn't look for another job as leaving that role before the 2 years are up is generally seen as a failure. Basically I committed myself to that company for 2 years and there was zero reciprocity. Yes, people around me just did what they were asked to. They were staffed on projects that actually got started after all. I agree with you on owning up 100% to the choices I made. It was a stupendous error on my part to enter in that 2 year commitment without breakup fees specified in the contract. Of course such a company doesn't negotiate such terms with college graduates, so I should not have taken that job at all. With regards to revenge, I believe in tit for tat. That's the rational way to play iterative games.
- ScottBurson 13y ago> With regards to revenge, I believe in tit for tat. That's the rational way to play iterative games. Bullshit. You're not expressing a rational plan to advance your self-interest. You're expressing an emotional fantasy. You really should let go of it, but if you must hold on to it, at least don't lie to yourself about what it is. Besides, they paid you. Resigning after collecting a salary for 9 months ought to have been revenge enough. Also, if you sat around for over 2 years after quitting, what they did to you is not the cause of your problems.
