A few months back, the company I was working for was acquired by another, much bigger, much American-er company. They'd been overworking their current writer and were looking for a new one to help them out. So I was kept on the payroll.
Current writer trained me, but it's a slow-moving company so there was only so much I could do in that time frame.
Said writer quit, their last day was last week. I can't fault them. It's not a great environment. They weren't valued. Super happy they found a job that was a better fit!
But now I'm stuck not knowing how to do this job or navigate this company and I lose so much sleep over it.
Sometimes, I think it'd have been easier to be let go.
