Surprised, and yet kinda not
Thank you for everyone's hugs and positive thoughts. What a strange day this was.
Long story short, my boss was fired and will probably be prosecuted. Apparently, she was stealing and had been for a while. According to some of the admins (who know everything, ya'll--if you want to know the office scoop, befriend an administrative assistant) we're talking about at least $30000, probably more. While I was there, I saw them finish cleaning out her office; they took everything out: file cabinets, computer, even her whiteboard. I guess the investigation is ongoing.
On the one hand, I'm surprised. She was a VP and she'd been there for 15 years; she must have been well compensated. Plus, she has a family to think of. Why do this? On the other hand, many of the things she did made me uncomfortable. She's too willing to cut corners, has (IMO) unethical staffing practices, and so on. I feel sorry for her, even though I think, perhaps, I shouldn't. Her life will never be the same after this.
Oh, and I did have to meet privately with a Senior VP and company legal. They had questions about the one and only business trip she and I took together. I wasn't very helpful. It was too long ago, and I had nothing to do with any expense reports she filed afterward.
Happier stuff: Pimping!
