Last year I took a contract role and was told they were sure it would be made permanent. Job role was extended twice, I only had positive feedback but in the end my contract was not made perm and they decided to give the full time graduate intern a perm position instead. It was devastating and handled really publicly (I felt). I found out subsequently from the recruiter that they had fed back to her that I had made ‘tons of mistakes’ yet I had had only positive feedback and genuinely can’t think of any mistakes that I had made. Unfortunately due to Covid I have had time to overly dwell on it all and a) it is sending me slightly mad b) has damaged my confidence.
The only thing I can think of is that half way through the contract I witnessed quite astounding racist incident in the office towards an admin assistant from a senior director and told my direct line manager l, the CEO. The senior director was the main liaison point with the recruiter so wonder whether he bad mouthed me as a revenge.
I appreciate I can’t do anything now, but the fact that that I have taken it all to heart so much is a worry and I wondered if anyone could point t to any books about resilience in the work place etc.
