I'm so sorry sweetheart; WHY do employers treat people like trash, like we're worthless?
Work is just the schoolyard all over again, same power trips but with money involved.
If you have contact info, why not call them for a goodbye lunch meeting?
We actually had dinner the other day with one of the therapists the other day; but the people I was referring to are some of the residents of the residents of the nursing home, particularly the dementia ward where I was assigned.
Quite a few of the people I worked with have already left or been fired. That place is turning into a hellhole and great plan, get rid of all the people who actually give a shit.
It does indeed, sweetie. I hate to say on one level I don't miss it (the stress, the anxiety, the lack of support, etc); but I feel like I'm tired of constantly having to "reinvent" myself and go through this all over again.
I don't know if I can work in a nursing home again - I'm not sure I can go to another job where I give so much of myself emotionally and go through the wringer again.
Ugh, I know how you feel on posts getting deleted like that. Sorry that it happened to you! I will go vote at Slayerstillness right now! I have voted at btvsats20in20, geez was this a difficult round to vote for! Sorry that you were also let go from your job last week. *hugs*
Yep, it's a bitch isn't it? Even if I haven't written much of anything ,all those links and pictures (and I had written a good bit of commentary in this one. It is to weep. Not on par with income loss, but still.)
Thank you for the support and good wishes, dear!
20in20 was very hard to vote in. And I found SS damn near impossible (again).

I voted for the characters and themes icontests.

I know voting and icons seems like such a small thing in the midst of job loss but it's keeping me weirdly sane (for whatever that's worth.)
