Walking Papers.

Today, after over 8 years of dedication to my employment, I was handed my walking papers. . . lol. Weird. I am so not sure how I feel about this. Here is the conversation: Them: Hi Trish, *** needs to talk to you (she is the accountant).. Me: (while chuckling) ok Them: Hi Trish, I am sure you know what this is about. Me: Yeah. Them: Well, the company has been letting a lot of people go, and this is your call. Me: Yeah, Ive been expecting it. Them: Your been such a good employee, if things start looking up we'll call you back, you are elligible for re-hire. Me: ok Them: Well lets talk about Severence. Me: ok Them: We are going to offer you a month of pay. Me: ok Them: What we need you to do to get the month of pay is to train *** how to do all you do. Me: Umm.. that is ok. Them: Well you wont be elligible for rehire. Me: thats ok. Seriously? I am was an independant contractor. I worked my brains out figuring out how to do what I was doing, and they think I am just going to say ok, here you go? Yeah. ok. Good Luck to them. and Good Luck to me... LOL.

Ahhhh man. So sorry, Trish. Good for standing your ground, though. If a door closes it just means a window of opportunity will be opening.

You are finally done with them!! At least I escaped years ago. I can't believe they are still going. I am sure you happy to be moving on.

I was let go from my job while on bedrest with Emma. They kicked me while I was down. It was actually kind of a relief though. I hope that it is for you too. Good luck on whatever you decide to persue next.

yeah, a job is a job is a job.... always gotta remember it's just trading services for pay, and that's all it is. you were there longer than I was :) It was a great job though--bein able to work from home remotely... you were PRO at it! it will take them forever to figure out how to do it all and then they will still end up screwing everything up. lol makes me kinda giggle.
