In February 2020, I suffered an economic dismissal. I was then 61 years old and I had to work another 7 years to obtain a full retirement. For me, it's a disaster. I worked for 20 years, for the protected sector. Self-taught, I started out as a sales representative, before becoming sector manager. My new role was to manage a small team of 3 to 4 people. I was mainly responsible for training new representatives and raising their skills. In 2013 our company is experiencing great difficulties and a restructuring is necessary. Great period of stress, I expect to be fired! To my great surprise, the new manager offered me to become North East Regional Director. I am seduced by the challenge but will I be up to the job? I'm not sure I have the stature... In full doubt, I refuse but the new Manager strongly insists, and I end up letting myself be convinced and accept the position.
For 6 years, I progressed, I trained, I worked a lot, with passion and without counting my hours. I was preoccupied, even stressed, by the insufficient results of the company, I overinvested myself in my activity. But I was happy because the management team was great and caring. We Germany Phone Number were rowing yes, but we were all rowing in the same direction. We all had the same goal: save the company, save our company! ! We all loved the company! But in 2018, exhausted, our Manager turned to other professional adventures and our company was entrusted to a new manager. Very quickly the tone changed, certain responsibilities were removed from me. Bullying and prohibitions have become my daily life. My colleagues and I lived through a year of moral harassment before the redundancy. YOUR PROJECT: It's tired and depressed that I approached the first months of my CSP, a support system for employees after economic redundancy.
What to do at my age? What are the solutions when your employability is on the decline? So I decided to undertake a skills assessment. Led by an experienced and competent occupational psychologist, the experience was very beneficial. While advancing on the different stages of the assessment, Agathe reassured me and helped me to rebuild my self-confidence undermined by my last year of activity. Little by little, the horizon reopened: I no longer wanted to be held hostage by my work. I have suffered too much from having neglected my family, at this stage, I want to work while being free to organize my time in my own way. I no longer want to be under hierarchical pressure, I have suffered too much from it. I want to become self-employed. After doing business surveys, I decided on the path that will be mine: Independent real estate agent! I go out to meet independent agents, I snoop everywhere on the net, social networks, blogs… I was surprised to see that the profession used social networks a lot to communicate.
