I found out last night that my former employer filled my position. They made a huge deal about how they would definitely not need me back, and they could pull employees from other departments if absolutely necessary. But apparently they changed their minds and hired a blonde 22-year-old college drop-out who lives with (off of?) mommy and daddy.
I called my boyfriend and yelled and screamed and cried. How could he not tell me in a “safe” place? He let me find out in front of people I don’t want to cry in front of. Did he think I really wouldn’t find out? This is a small town!
I don’t want the job back; my pride would not allow it. I really don’t want to ever speak to or see most of the people who still work there. It would have been nice to have been asked (the thought that counts), and I would have liked the chance to say “screw you!”.
That’s a tough one – I would have taken it on the chin too. You have a right to be smarting a bit…
I can see where you would be a little hurt (pride), but rest assured that everything happens for a reason & you’re better off w/out the jerks. You definitely wouldn’t have left that dead-end job on your own, so consider that they did you a favor. I know that’s not much of a consolation, but there’s no going back – only forward – and you left w/ your pride & dignity intact. Prove them wrong, that you are definitely a better person, & make the best of what you now have – success is the best payback!
I’d say this w/end you’re allowed a night to soothe your hurt pride. But after that you should be back on tract to make the best of what you now have – prove them wrong lady…
