I am in a TOTAL state of shock right now...

Donna: I am sooooo sorry to hear about this. Just breaks my heart for you. But I ALWAYS try to believe that things happen for a reason. You just have to have faith that there is something better for you. You never know what you might have missed if you would have stayed in this job - you might miss out on something even more wonderful! These people might be doing you a favor. Just give it some time. I know that's hard to say now . . . but just try to give it some time.

I will be thinking of you & praying for you. Hang in there!

{{{HUGS}}}

I'm really sorry...that sounds so horrible.. But like others said, just keep looking up. We will pray for you, but God always has a plan. He doesn't give us a mountain that we can't climb.

Donna, I'm so sorry to hear this. Your luck has to start changing for the better. I don't buy Iams cat food but if I find some good coupons I'll let you know. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Wow...more proof that some people are just plain rotten...

Hang in there! Things have a way of working out

I'm so sorry. What a coward! Did she get to be the expert she is in one week of *watching*? Why didn't she throw you to the wolves, so to speak, like on Wednesday afternoon and evaluate how you work under pressure? And be there to guide you for those last two days?
Hang in - breathe deep. It's happened to me so badly that I haven't worked in two years! At a *real* job! Long story!
I learned the hardest way possible to not trust a boss with any medical history that pertains to anxiety, depression, or personal changes. List meds, but offer no details.
And remember - what goes around, comes around. Be the bigger person, kill her with kindness, and when finally you are where you should have been to begin with but didn't realize, she'll have burned all her bridges. Or moved back to the one she came out of to begin with

I called Human Resources first thing this morning. Most of the people are doing orientation, but I did speak with Donna and told her what happened. She said she had no idea!!!! Um, don't ya think that if they were going to let someone go, HR would be involved????? I told her that I deserve at least an explanation other than "I'm not the right person for the position" and an exit interview, and she said, "Absolutely".

She said I needed to speak with Nancy. I left her a voicemail message. Will keep ya posted.

On a lighter note...my roommate sent me an email with an attachment. It seems the Michigan Humane Society is looking for an Abuse Investigator (as seen on tv!!!). Talk about a kick in the @$$!! He told me I'd be PERFECT for the job. True, but a little late now. No way I'd go back to MI.

He said that maybe it's something in my background that I didn't know about that came up when the did the background check. I told him that I had absolutely nothing to hide and that my fingerprints are on file with the FBI from when I was an Auxiliary State Trooper. He's going to check my background out and let me know if he finds anything. I can tell you right now he won't.

*sigh* Only in America!!

Donna, come back!!!!

Just ribbin' ya chica.

I hope Nancy gets back with you. Something doesn't feel right about the way the other *itch let you go. I don't know about the work enviroment, but here, if I was leaving I wouldn't have a say in who was hired to replace me... so I'd have no right to call someone and say, "Sorry, you did the job one day and I could of done it better, out you go.".. . the higher ups would be furious! I hope you contact HER boss (Andy, right?) and find out if she had approval. Who knows....if you're gone, then she can say, well....guess she didn't want the job...here's who I want for the position.

I hate underhanded people.

Kimmy,

Unfortunately, I can't contact her boss, Andy, because she intercepts all his phone calls. And she has caller ID, so if she's avoiding me, she can throw my call into voicemail and ignore it.

Don't worry, I'll get to the bottom of it one way or another. AND, I want my week's pay!!!

I've notified BB&B I'm available anytime. Melissa told me she'd give me as many hours as possible.

I am NOT taking this lying down!!!

If only that Cruelty Investigator's position had come up when I WAS in MI. But hindsight has 20/20. You know that!!!
