Another Chance Please ... (based on true story)

Chapter#3

In 2020, the COVID comes and I am fired from the company due to businesses and sales are getting down because of COVID lockdown. I get the news about the firing me from the office about two months ago. Sometimes in the washroom of the office and sometimes in the meeting room of the office, I used to sit alone and cry that how will the house go and where will I pay the house rent?

I had thirty thousand from my savings and my very dear friend gave me another thirty thousand from her savings and told me to establish your business. So in this way I had collected a total of sixty thousand rupees from which I established my business by focusing on hygiene. Due to COVID there was a smart lockdown in our country for markets with opening closing timings from 12 am to 6 pm on which I used to do my business. Business response was not good enough to cover the expenses of the house but still we should thank Almighty in every situation. Then gradually the police of the area started harassing but my sale was not good enough to meet the demand of the local police. It was the whole system and I was not financially strong enough at that time to have someone help me. As time passed, my difficulty increased and this system eliminated all my business through its machinery. One thing I understood that day is that if you want to do your business in this city, you should have money in your pocket. Because the system here is such that it will not let you earn alone, you have to save your business by giving some percentage to them. And as soon as the corona is over and the situation is back to what it was before, I get a call back from the office saying to join back and I have no option left to join. But there comes offer from another department which was not my field. I had to join because I don't have any options. Today Allhumdulillah a graphic designer learned withholding tax return, cash carry forward to and became cash controller too.

Today, Alhamdulillah, it has been seven years in the company and I have only been promoted once.

My only mistake would be to share my circumstances, my problems and my compulsions with people who have always taken advantage of my compulsions. This gives me a lesson for the future that I should never share my compulsions in my work place because nowadays people only have mean friendship with you, they are happy to see your problems and your pain.
