So last night I heard from my boss, not a good sign on a weekend much less anytime. He had some issues with getting on the banks website. He received a java error. It could be the bank was having problems. It could be that he needed to reboot or reinstall java. So I told him all of that. He thought he rebooted but he actually shutdown his machine. That of course is totally my fault because he made a mistake. So he tells me that he will be unable to work now until Monday. I offered to drive to the office and power his machine back on for him but he declined. He said we will talk Monday.
Something just didn’t sit right with me. So I did some probing. Turns out the office manager is telling him that I am not doing my job and lazy, all I ever do is sit in meetings behind closed doors. Uh, yeah that is part of my job. Hello. Well she told him it’s time for me to go. From the looks of things he has every intention of letting me go.
That would be both a blessing and a curse. The blessing part would be that I didn’t have to listen to his shit anymore. The curse part is that it would kill my income and I would have further problems. Plus applying for a home loan, they require two years of steady employment. I’d have to bounce back quick and with the way the job market is now, I don’t think that will happen.
I really don’t need to add another worry to my list. I have plenty going on and wrong in my life. I want to be able to relax and breathe without worry. I want to recover from all of this. Needless to say I didn’t get much sleep last night.
This event only further solidifies the fact that I need to get the hell out of there and the sooner the better. I would of course rather do it on my own terms. I just got a good review, a small pay raise and have no formal write ups or discipline in my file. I don’t exactly know what grounds he would use, should he decide to terminate me. However, I work in one of the states that is a Right to Work state. That means simply either party with or without notice can terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason.
We fight all of our unemployment claims so he would of course make it difficult for me to get unemployment but I think I have enough evidence to support my side of the story to win that. It wouldn’t be much money but it would be something. Then I would also have to seek counsel from a Labor Employment Attorney. I have a couple things working in my favor. I came out, so I can always say I was fired due to my sexuality, which is illegal. I am over age 40 so I can claim that based on my age he let me go. Now you can claim anything you want, but you have to have evidence to support it. That is the tricky part.
The devil sure wants to try and ruin my life. He wants me to commit suicide but I keep hanging on so it’s like inch by inch. Big Boy I can tell is getting worse slowly so soon I will have to deal with that. It’s like every time I turn around it’s something. It’s almost safer to stay in bed and not leave the house.
Argh! Off to looking for a job I go. Talk with you again soon.
