I'll get this out of the way as quickly as I can, after which point I can go back to not using LiveJournal. I have no desire to talk about it to the Internet beyond what I've done in private.
Two positions were cut from my office again and mine happened to be one of them. Despite the office being in an uproar, no one is willing to make the changes to keep me. My last day is the 29th of this month. I found out May 31st. Last month they gave me the Employee of the Month title. June 1st was my official four year anniversary. The timing on this is hilarious.
There are various circumstances surrounding why I will not be seeking to re-apply for any positions with this particular firm. My pride is one of them. The fact it will pay less than what I do now is another.
A woman from HR and my Operations Manager were there to give me the news. Once they gave it to me, they said I could leave for the day if I felt like it, as they understood it was heavy news. I said that was fine and I was expecting this since March. I told them I had work to finish so I wouldn't be leaving and I hoped their next conversation went as well as mine.
One of the girls they're keeping told me "[Operations Manager] asked if you went home. I said 'No, she was still at her desk working.' She replied, 'I had a feeling she'd do that.' "
The other girl they let go has been a crying mess. Every time she talks to me she bursts into tears. I had to comfort her again so she would stop crying in her cubicle next to me.
My day was consumed with me trying to convince everyone it isn't the end of the world that I'm being let go. People are in tears, looking miserable, and so many people say "I'm sorry." My reply has been a long version of: "I'm not. Don't worry about it and don't worry about me either. It's not sad. It sucks, but whatever. It'll just be different."
The other girl they let go has been a bawling mess and getting her tears all over me. Every time she opened her mouth to talk, she started crying. She has also been complaining to me because people are going to miss me more than they'll miss her. "Everyone's so upset that YOU'RE leaving, but they aren't even going to notice it when I'm gone!"
While I'm flattered by the attention and it swells my pride to know literally everyone on the local office level despises this decision, I'm incredibly annoyed I have to deal with other peoples' feelings.
I have a lot of shit to sort out and a lot of difficult decisions to make in the next two months.
This is a forewarning to everyone who talks to me in any capacity or people who have been considering talking to me but haven't found the guts to do it: I no longer have patience to waste on bullshit or drama. Don't bother me with it. I have more important shit to worry about and I won't be nice to you.
Oh yeah, and I cut my friends list for the first time in ever. I decided I'm also out of patience to deal with some people who refuse to resolve problems with me.
