I am sorry Taz...I know how it hurts to be "downsized" "let go" "indefinitely suspended" and all of those sugar coating words that mean fired. I haven't worked in two years since my boss fired me by phone voice mail! I was sick as a dog that day and couldn't come into the office. It was a day she was out on the road and I couldn't get hold of her to call off. She left a loud and lengthy message on my answering machine yelling at me and telling me not to bother to come in again because I had called off too much and was too unreliable. This came just a couple of weeks after she told me how pleased she was with my work. I burst into tears, then I had fantasies of blowing up her car with her in it (awful, I know!). It was a horrible way to end a job that I had truly enjoyed and up until then had got along well with the boss -- or so I thought. I have to say that losing that job got rid of a lot of stress and in the long run worked out the best for my health....but...I hate the way I was fired and the animosity from this boss. I would have preferred to be the one to leave and on my own terms!  I hope you are able to collect unemployment. Please don't be too hard on yourself. The economy is terrible right now and I believe that everyone who works anywhere is vulnerable and no one is safe these days! We are all here for you... |
