Oh Nicole. I'm sorry. That's terrible.
I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. That's terrible that they could make you leave when you had not done anything wrong.

I have not been very happy in the past few days. I have been actually very depressed and need to turn to my friends. You see I need a shoulder. I suppose at 49 years of age I never expected to retire from where I had been working for, for 25 years. I was not expecting too or at least I did not have it planned for now. I was part of a witch hunt so that others in my department could get what they wanted, and that was, me out. Due to some stupid technically and a union coming in, I turned out not to be the last one in but the first, over the other 2 I worked with. They were making more money than me (at least 15 thousand more) and with me having more seniority over them, they stood to loose at least that much or I stood to gain. If however there were a lay off, they would got first. So you see I was the thorn in their sides. On Dec 12 2006 I was accused of stealing time from the company in 2005, and now I found I had to prove my inascences. I spent 2 weeks not eating, sleeping and all this trying to keep my son in the Christmas spirit. All he saw was me in tears. I would cry on my way to work, I would cry in my office. One day I passed out while holding a cup of coffee in my hands. You know even thought I had proof to prove him wrong, he just kept at me, even going as far as telling me he didn't trust my work. I had a review in Feb. of 2006 and it was for 2005 and he never mentioned anything to me about this. I even told him that and all he would do is give me this blank stare and ask for proof. So after giving him all the proof I had, and then telling him to take what ever he thought I owed (which in my case was nothing) and to take the rest of my vacation time I had left, I also told him I was going to retire as of Jan 1 2007. I never want to go back there, but find myself financially in a jam. So I am trying to find work so I can at least pay my bills. I just need to talk to someone and I consider all of you my friends, it helps to get it out. Hope you didn't mind listening. take care Nicole --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
