Q: I refused to report to a person who made me feel uncomfortable. As a result, I was put on a performance plan. I just resigned with a severance, but am totally devastated. How do I address the circumstances of my departure in an interview?
Office politics can be complicated. Sometimes the stakes are low, and sometimes they are frighteningly high. It sounds like there has been some conflict brewing for some time with your colleagues, which has culminated in your departure. I’m sure the situation has been stressful and I’m sorry for that. I recommend that you find healthy ways of decompressing after this experience (vacation, exercise, eat healthy, spend time with friends, seek professional assistance, etc.) so you can be prepared and on your game when it’s time to interview.
