Noone I know to undermine a dash of hope quite like you
Today I was fired. Today I was really very unexpectedly fired from my favorite place on earth. Today an employee of three years, who never calls out, never is late, who communicates with the clients well (who received a vote for employee of the month December 2006, for always being awesome at dealing with high maintenance clients) and who communicates with her coworkers was told that there was no reason for firing her besides cutbacks. I made a point to ask if I had done anything wrong. NO, THEY SAID. It is a lie and most everyone who is not a manager at my work knows it. They said the managers decided this and it was final. This was a job I quit teaching art to children for, where I had managers who told me they were happy with my performance in October, who told me it would be fine for me to go to France and come back there again when I got back. I did everything I could, I was a GOOD employee...and they fired me. (There are so many others who are on probation for things and don't really care or do work, why me then?)
Thank Goodness Dr. Jane was there...OH MY GOSH THANK GOODNESS. I pulled her into a room and told her in the midst of tears. She started to turn red and pace saying "I will never forgive them for this" over and over again. She ran out of the room and grabbed Zoe and Dr. Barb and they both came in a looked at me in disbelief. Jane then said "I have to say something to them" and ran out of the room. She came back a few minutes later...everyone outside the door looked so confused and bewildered. She had run past everyone and told my two managers to get into a room...then proceeded to tell them that they were being "just plain mean...that they were making a mistake....that they had no idea the effect this would have on me, them and the office, and that they were ripping the bottom of my life out beneath everything. she would never forgive them..."
Dr. Barb proceeded to hug me and tell me I am better off without them, that I should be happy i don't have to work for such spinelessness anymore...She is right.
I am devastated. I can only do myself better and get the best revenge of all...succeeding without them. All my co employee friends are very very angry. When this gets around at work I wish i was there to see the reactions...i know they wont just peaceably accept this...i know certain individuals are going to be mad as hell...I cant wait to hear about their reactions. I also cant wait until I hear what the owner says to my friend who is asking her about it....whether the owner even knows or approved it.
You know, being told I did something wrong and having an opportunity to work on that is one thing, but being told that I did nothing and am getting fired anyways, just hurts. It feels like breaking up... it feels like a lack of communication. Its upsetting to the point of sickness. Its just nothing...No. Its just plain mean. I will be fine and I will do better for myself, and in the end I will be happy and laughing, but right now its that beginning part of the breakup where you feel helpless and confused. Somewhat irrational and nauseous. It always passes tho, the heartbreak. Where do people get off treating other people this way?
