re: Pray for me brothers as I may have screwed the pooch on this one. **Update**

You should have posted your thread in the Political Talk forum because it's filled with nothing but people who bitch and moan all day and they would have probably welcomed you with open arms over there

Four page troll.

This thread was a tease

I got fired for cognitive reasons. It was a kick in the gut. They recruited me & I was good at what I did.

I told them I was under a Dr's care, having some issues & they still pulled the trigger. A friend from there told me they were saying I was on drugs. Hell, I wish that were it. I got diagnosed with M.S a couple months after.
Too bad for them as I count their money.

Get into see a neurologist if you can see your own cognitive abilities decline.

He got busted while busting.

I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in May last year. I’ve been through chemo and an 8-hour Whipple surgery - October 31 last year - that altered my life forever. After the surgery, I began to notice brain fog and just general incidents of confusion and memory loss. Not dementia-level but just forgetting tasks and forgetting conversations I’ve had. Not sharp.

I’m on short-term disability til end of this month but if I’d been working full-time this past year I know I’d have screwed up a lot. It worries me that this may continue. I’m 61 but I can’t retire just yet. I’ve explored going on SSI disability since it’s almost automatic with pancreatic cancer, but my income situation messes that up. Can only make so much.

Didn’t mean to make it about me, but wanted to let you know you’re not alone. Hang in there, man. Short of embezzling money or sleeping with the boss’s wife, you probably still have more value than you think. Gonna be okay.

Lmao wut??

This will get buried in this worthless thread, but that is one of the most idiotic things I’ve seen posted on the OT in nearly 20 years. And that’s saying something.

Feel good story of the day.

Anyone else but me just pissed at the lack of details here?

Good leadership!

Now, back to work.

If serious enough where you thought chit can was reasonable, recommend the following:

Put together 1 page action plan (lessons learned) to remedy or prevent in future. Keep / Start / Stop doing format is pretty solid. Use this in your coaching sessions (Sales, right?) with your GM. Bring in evidence points of how you have remedied the root causes and have controls in place to prevent in future.

Why? 2026 performance might be cooked. You are doing this for 2027 forward bonuses, incentives, etc. Every leader loves a “lessons learned” moment they can hang their leadership coaching on. You’re that now for your GM. Don’t miss the opportunity!

Good luck.
