Fire Clients Who Don’t Value Your Skills and Expertise
Have you ever worked with a client (or worked for someone) who doesn’t value what you bring to the table?
Most of the time, these people give great lip service in trying to sell the work/company, but when you get on board, that’s when all hell breaks loose.
I did. Here’s my story.
Background
I got fired from my last corporate job. The BS reason my boss gave to me is that I “didn’t meet management’s targets.” But the real reason behind it, your guess is as good as mine.
Here are a few facts from those circumstances: The results I brought in during my 3 months there exceeded the results of the previous 3 people in that same role for the same metrics.
I can’t quite remember the exact numbers now, but when I did the math before, the KPIs were 4x than the combined results of the last 3 people who were in that role.
I stayed in the role for ~3 months. The last 3 people who were in that previous role had it cumulatively for around 1.5 years.
But I digress.
