Ack! You lost your job?!? What happened hun?
Short version: My boss is a &*^$
Long version:
My boss has disapproved of my work ethics for a while... The last time I had a meeting with her I left her office in tears...
Last Thursday I left work early due to a massive migraine. Technically I had found someone else to work the shift for me.. but they would be a half hour late getting there and since I was training someone I couldn't leave the new girl wandering around by herself so I had Noch drive me down (as I couldn't even drive) and then had the new girl start on our chore for the evening and awaited my co-worker to relief me. I was only there for half an hour...
But things didn't get done that night.. and my boss emailed me the next day and said she wanted.. read that as NEEDED.. to have a meeting with me..
So I spent the better part of the weekend stressed out about this stupid meeting. Tuesday night after being snoopier than I should have been I found a note on my boss' desk with my name on it and three notes below.
1. Trash not emptied
2. Trash can not taken care of
3. Rug not washed.
*SIGH* It took all the will power I had not to just walk our right then. She was going to be yelling at me for things I had done.. and for things I was not responsible for. The notes in reference to the trash were things that were supposed to be done on my Thursday night shift.. the night I was only there for a HALF HOUR.. due to a migraine.. *grrr* And the note regarding the rug? I did wash it.. In fact I brought the damn thing home to wash it because the residents were using the washing machine there and I didn't want to get in trouble for it not being done and just brought it home... but apparently it wasn't good enough...
Regardless... Today.. @ 10am the boss from hell finally calls me and asks me to come in for the "meeting" at 11am.. I was nice as pie on the phone and said I would be there. Got all prettied up to look my best.. but some part of me knew how it would go because I told Noch before I left "It's going to take all the willpower I have to come home with a job"
I knew as soon as I got there I was fired because she didn't want me clock in.. and the first words out of her mouth when she shut the door were.. "I really hate to do this to you...."
The best part is she fired me for reasons that have nothing to do with the originial reasoning for her meeting.. Apparently I got two complaints this week. One for missing a call.. I WAS IN THE F*^@ING BATHROOM.... *sigh* and one for denying shelter to a woman who was in "imminent danger"... I don't see how she was in imminent danger as SHE was the one arrested.. but whatever... I tried to state my case to the boss but I knew before the words left my mouth that it was hopeless and that she had made up her mind..
So I cleaned out my drawer.. and left with out breaking down. *2points for me*
*sigh* I loved my job... I hated the people I worked for... but I still loved my job...
