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

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!!!

[moosmom]

Well, I've called the Director of Human Resources, his assistant, Nancy, Maureen and left messages for all of them. No one is returning my calls.

I'm about ready to email the Publisher and call the newspapers. I'll give them till the end of today to get back to me. If this is the way they do business, I'm glad I got let go!!!

Now I know why my Dad always said, "You don't wanna work here."

I'm trying to stay as calm as possible under the circumstances, but I can feel my blood pressure going up as we speak.

[Jadapit]

I swear some people kids!! I wanted to tell you that I dont have any IAMS cat food coupons but I'm keeping an eye out for them. I will let you know if I run across any.
