some feelings
Blaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
Since I got laid-off a couple weeks ago I filed for unemployment. I thought my ex-boss and I had come to an agreement that it was a lay off and not a firing because even though we've had problems and I wanted to leave because I was bored and had very little work to do anymore, I thought (AND SHE SAID) there were no hard feelings and she was going to give me a severance (which she did) and a good reference.
BUT after I filed on my second week of unemployment, I got a thing from the agency that said my ex-boss had put me under MISCONDUCT. I was fucking floored. I got a copy of the paperwork she wrote the explanation on and it was the THING WE HAD A PROBLEM ON and nothing else. Misconduct usually means theft or maybe if I had messed up something so badly she lost some business, neither of which happened.
When I got this my parents were out of town getting my brother's car back from North Carolina so I freaked out about it to my sister. I had to fill out a three page thing saying why my filing was different. So now I have to send it in and see if they accept it or if they will keep me under misconduct, which would mean I can't get any money from unemployment for ten fucking weeks.
I am just floored that she would do that and not give me the courtesy of at least telling me. Now I'm worried she won't actually give a good reference like she said. Why should I trust her on that? I talked to my parents about it this morning and my dad asked if there was anyway to talk to my old boss about why she would do that and I said I don't WANT to talk to her. I will just file my paperwork and we'll see. My dad thinks she's butt-hurt about me leaving, which if I think about it does seem to fit with her behavior on the date of my lay off.
If I wasn't on my period I would send her an email asking her if she intended to keep her word about giving me a good reference. I just don't get it.
Right now I'm actually leaning towards doing some volunteer work out of the country for a bit. I don't really want a job right now tbh, and I'm not that interested in going back to school though I've thought about it.
But for now I'm just going to Pennsylvania with my parents next month since my dad has some work to do over there. Maybe if I'm lucky my mom and I can get down to New York too.
