Damn. I’m so bummed by this whole situation. I’m sorry to hear you went through the identity mind F. I really empathize with that- being layed off from tech after 8 years- it’s been almost 2 years now and haven’t had steady work - just contracts. Like am I still a product designer? That was my identity as it takes so much commitment keeps up with the tools and evolving product development workflows.
Im actually kinda pissed that advocating for yourself led to this and - it sounds like you know what’s up and have healed - knowing you did nothing wrong at all.
But I just gotta say it; I hope you let go of this and aren’t afraid to ask for what you deserve in your career moving forward.
Thanks sharing this man, it really hit home about feeling wronged
