Ditto! Why do you think you put up with this treatment for so long? I hope you know that you deserve better.

R called twice this morning. I just let calls go to VM.

The first one - he had read my emails and wanted to discuss the issues with me. He honestly does, I know that - but it won't do any good.

Second - he realized I was not answering my phone for some reason, still wanted me to call him. There was a quaver in his voice a couple of times that I never had heard.

Here is how to NOT enable: Let him hit his bottom, I don't run to rescue his pain.

I did email saying why indirect contact was best for me, that I know he meant well, and that I was taking a resume out this afternoon. That I was pro-Candace surviving and not anti-anyone else.

I added that "I just can't anymore. I can't do this anymore." The company is sick and dysfunctional right now.

This is not easy. But it is the only way that things might get better.

First, it is I that has to get better.
:(

Good work, Candace! You are doing a great job sticking to your guns. You take it easy and do whatever you need to do to feel better. The problems of that company are not something you have to be the least bit concerned about now.

Best wishes with your job application! Quite a few years back I met a woman who worked at the post office in her town. She had a purse or tote bag with her that said in big letters on the side:

DON'T ANNOY ME.. I'M A POSTAL WORKER.

Big hugs and purrs to you,
Pat and cats

Believe me, you make sense.

I tend to do this myself. I remember loving to talk on the phone as a teen and in my early 20s. Now... forget it. I never use all of my minutes per month on my cell or my home phone (maybe 250mins. a month max, and that's basically just to mom and dad).

I am even screening my calls...I will not go there. It's like crawling out from under a weight, or under a wall where I've dug dirt bit by bit to just get away...and I am lying in a safe spot, tired.

Does that make any sense???

Another reason I love being in a union. Not being paid NEVER happens. When I first started working at the school district, they tried to tell me because one of the HR people was on vacation I would have to wait 45 days to get paid, if I needed them to, they'd call the places that I had bills due to talk to them. What a joke!! My union rep got on the the phone on day 30 and told the assistant to the superintendent that if my check wasn't in my hand by end of business day, we were filing a grievance. Let's just say that the superintendent's secretary hand delivered my paycheck that afternoon. ;) :D
