A woman who had previously fired her now-hiring manager due to issues with her temper went into a new job interview with the same person. Despite the past, the hiring manager offered her a second chance, acknowledging the importance of forgiveness and personal growth. The interview went well, and the woman has committed to managing her temper with therapy. Read the full story below.

I got a lot of good feedback and you guys are right; I did let my temper get the best of me in front of her on multiple occasions and that makes me a bad boss. I went to her office unsure of what to expect. The door was locked when I got there, so I stood outside waiting. She came up behind me and said my name. She asked me if I was ready to interview and I just said yes.

We sat down in her office and she pulled out her phone and started recording. She asked me if I minded being taped and I said no. She asked me basic interview questions, and then she asked me if there was anything that I knew I had to work on. I told her that my temper was an issue in the past, but that I have had a sudden wake up call about my temper and that I was actively working on it.

I apologized for leaving her hanging with training and that I was glad to see she was in a better position. She told me that one of the things she had learned was forgiveness. She had left the company she was at and rehired to because they had wronged her during the merger.

When she was offered the position back, it was with an apology, a raise, and now she is in a better position than when she left. She said sometimes an apology can start you down the path towards something better. She told me that she is willing to hire me for a good wage because she knew I was good at a lot of things at my previous job.

She said if I lost my temper during the trial period, it would be the end, but she was hopeful that it wouldn’t happen. She asked me if I could start Friday. She started training me today, and I definitely realized I was the problem and why she didn’t succeed where I was. She is absolutely wonderful at the job with great client interactions.

She should’ve been able to easily pick up the work I was throwing at her if she had been properly trained. I’m glad that she gave the company a second chance because she deserves everything they have given her. I hope to learn a lot from her and show her that she didn’t waste her time on me. I’ve also signed up for therapy to manage my anger online.

TL;DR: I ate my humble pie and went to the interview. She is giving me a second chance and I hope to be a good employee. I’m starting anger management soon.

egru-no −  It takes a lot to swallow your pride and admit you were wrong. Well done op

ottoneurseolo −  I am glad that this worked out for you. I am glad that you went thru with it. And I am glad that she took you. You are very lucky. I wish you the best. I probably would not have gone thru with it.

whore-ticulturist −  This is so clearly fake.

mrockey19 −  Of all the stories that never happened, this didn’t happen the most

bretts_demise −  This is so fake it’s ridiculous

blueeeyeddl −  Still a shitpost.. OP still sucks.

MachineGunTeacher −  And then everyone clapped.

dca_user −  Wow, good for you OP. I’m impressed you acknowledged your mistake AND are now taking action for it. For therapy, please look into EMDR trauma therapy if your anger is a result of trauma(s). Relatedly, when you can, do see your medical doctor for your anger. Sometimes anger is a symptom of a medical issue. For my dad, it turned out that he got angry when his blood sugar got too low.. Good luck

everyones-a-robot −  This is so g**damn fake.
