I quit
Before I knew how bad the job market was I left my full time job. I was working for an accounting firm and tax season was brutal. I worked my ass off since January and what I didn’t know at the time was my boss wasn’t happy with my progress until she embarrassed me in front of the entire office. She took over my job and made the entire office step up and help with some of my tasks. I was mortified how she handled this and let her do it because it’s her office. She’s a full partner. The next business day she kept at me with her poor attitude and I went into her office and told her I didn’t think it was working out like I had hoped and she sent me home. Later that day she called me and told me I needed to come get my stuff and turn in my key. To this day, I am unsure if I quit or got fired. But I do know I can’t work for someone who treated me the way she did but I am freaking out as each day that passes and I don’t have a job.
I found out I could go back to school and actually get an accounting degree pretty fast. I need 17 credits. I have an undergrad in business mgmt but I don’t know if I’m good at this. I’ve been working in the AR/AP for another firm. I think getting this accounting degree would help open more doors.
