Got laid off/fired from a marketing role :( what now?

172

Hi all, I (29F) got laid off yesterday after working for the company for 9 months because there was a gap between expectations and deliverables. They said, “you have great energy and amazing ideas but we never got to see them executed”. Well, all my ideas were either rejected or i was asked to put them on hold until XYZ project was completed (it’s still not complete). My role was also set up for failure. I was reporting to A who was not a marketing professional, but I had to get approvals from B, the VP of Marketing, for everything that I wanted to do. I was kind of misguided about my reporting manager thrice. On top of that, my goals did not ladder up to anyone’s goals and I was even asked to see my own goals lol. At the end, I never had any goals defined. I agree 100% that that role was a shitshow and I’m glad to be out. I’m just upset how the process went and how I was never given any feedback or an opportunity to improve. I was never put on PIP. I was given tasks that I wasn’t great at and something I’ve never done before (event planning, graphic designing, etc.) I feel bad and I want to cry. I don’t know what to do and I’m so lost :( how do I deal with this? On a positive side, I got a decent severance package.

Question - Why are my mails blocked by Gmail - Need Help

Hi All, Wanted to understand why am I getting error message from google that message blocked or mail directly landing in spam folder. Warmed up domain before sending any mails. I got 3 to 4 different inbox on Gsuit. I did setup SPF, DKIM, DMARC records also. To avoid spam trigger I have been using mail meteor to check if I am using any spam work in my email copy. I stated my cold outreach campaign and have been sending mails in small batches of 30 to 35 mail per mail box. Also, my domain is not blocked on any list that also I have checked. What can be the reason for this error that my message is blocked and most emails landing in spam folder.
