Esther Ekoko said she got fired over a Zoom call by the company shortly after she demanded a promotion.

Esther said the sad incident happened two years ago, but she did not mention the name of the company that fired her.

Her words:

“Two years ago, I asked for a promotion at work. Instead, I got laid off – over a Zoom call. It was a gut punch.”

However, Esther picked herself up despite the setback and decided to make something meaningful out of her life.

She said:

“I decided it wasn’t going to happen to me again. So, I invested 8 weeks into building my personal brand “aggressively”.

“Exactly! With a strong step, starting a new step is not always an easy way. Be ready to open the door when Opportunity knocks. However, the problem does not need to knock; the Problem always has his own key and will enter without knocking.”

Luckson Odiase said:

“Never you settle for Less. I’ve got a story to share. But waiting to finalise the deal.”

Stephen Olorunyomi said:

“This is such a refreshing story. What stands out most is how intentional you were, treating personal branding like a business.”
