So...I am quiting my job

OK, this is what happened in the fucked up, high school drama place I work.

HR and my boss called me in the board room yesterday, tld me they know I have been pinning my employees against each other and causing bad moral. I denied this, because it simply was an absurd accusation. My boss said 'well we're calling them up here so we'll find out if you're lieing'. I said 'please call them up here'. They got called up had no idea what my boss or HR were talking about and the person who supposedly I was pinning against other people praised me as a supervisor and the other person claimed he lost respect for me because i was 'all about work and didn't understand people have personal issues'. So HR dissmissed us all saying it was obvious none of us were at fault for this.

Later in the day they found out who the instigater in all of this was. I did not get an apology and the instigator came in my office trying to be all buddy buddy with me. I blew-up.

I went upstairs and told HR I was livid and wanted a chance to confront this woman and wanted an apology from my boss. My boss came in, admitted I was right, but did not apologize and instead further criticized my job performance. I brought up that I have worked there 5 months and have not had my 90 day review and have never gotten positive feedback from him so I do not know what is expected of me. He, entirely missing the point said 'I am not going to give you a pat on the back for doing your job'. They acting like I was agressive and absurd for wanting to let this woman know how much she messed up my department.

This is the third time I have been wrongfuly accussed of starting drama, each time it ended up being this woman. So needless to say if her boss and mine aren't going to nip it in the bud I want a chance to (she is 2 positions below me, but I am not her direct supervisor).

Thank you for listening to me vent. I applied for three lovely low-responsibility jobs this morning, one part-time, which would be lovely. Two are jobs as non-licensed therapists, which would be awesome and the other one is a Social Worker on the same base Andy works on.

 

Shitty buzz, dosnt sound like a fun place to work. And i think your boss might be sleeping with that drama chick.

good luck with your job hunt.

 

6 months of collecting unemployment, celebrate!

 

I know! It is crappy.

The woman is 400 pounds and very unhappy. She is a pastor's wife. I want to call him and tell him what a bad example she is setting for his church.
This woman also applies for my job and did not even get an interview for it. So she is petty and jealous and icky.

 

ergghhhh no, I couldn't stand not working here. I don't have any friends here and my fiance works a lot. Event hough unemplyment would likely be more money than any other job I get.

 

Oh man, that sucks. I hope you'll find a new job soon, I'm sure you will as you're a smart lady. Oh and I also hope that in your new job the people will be nice instead of being poopieheads!

 

Did you ever consider the possibility that you alone might be the source of these ongoing dramas and never-ending disputes with fellow and co-workers?

Perhaps something about your makeup which acts as a magnet for negative energy :H

Thank you!!!!

I am sick right now and think I have step so my plan is to go to the doctor tommorow after I give a training and get a note so I can get some time off and go job hunting during that time.

 

hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

when youve mellowed a little, it might be cathartic to write a note with (calm, reasonable) suggestions on how they can improve their business to kepe this from happenign again. ie, enforce the 90 day review. but liek i said, when youre calmer, so that its not crazy-angry-woman ranting

 

hahaaaaaaa Iwas sooo pissed last night that I thought I was going crazy. I called my mom and asked her if I should check myself in and get treatment because I had never been so mad or humiliated in my life. She assured me I was normal and just needed to get out of there.

That is a very good idea. I will definitley do that.

 

I don't mean to sound mean... but, aren't you making a bit too much of a deal out of this?

Sure, you were blamed for something... it wasn't your fault, they admitted it, time to move on, ehh?

Unless ofcourse you didn't like the job to begin with, and this just made ya loose it completely.

 

^Agreed.

 

the last part it pretty much it. I have been trying so hard to be positive at work and have been putting in so many hours and weekends rying to make sure everything I do is perfect.

Also, since this was the third time it has happened and I feel like I have never been given the benefit of te doubt it pissed me off. Why would they want someone in upper management who they thought was capable of pinning people against each other and just being gossipy and petty?

 

I just feel like they have questioned my character too many times, and in a normal job that would piss me off, but I could get over it. But, since I work at a non-profit serving kids it hurt and I take things personally. If I worked in a different field I could chalk it up to buissness, but when you work at a non-profit and work so hard for way less than you're worth because you love kids and THINK you are a decent person of good moral character, it just stings.

 

I see where you're coming from.

...and quitting seems to be the best course of action if you don't actually like the job.

...and yeah, bosses tend to be assholes. C'est la vie!

 

good riddance to them Lyns...thats terrible on their part, especially your boss.

 

I agree, thank you for your support Chris!

Well, I have applied to 26 non-management jobs today!!! All of them are A LOT less than I am making now, but are things I would love to do.
Tommorow I am going to the doctor's to try and get a note to have most of next week and my ski program this sunday off. When I come back I would like to have an offer for a nice part-time job that let's me work directly with people and not paper work, preferabley one in Fallon so we can move into base housing so I can make some friends. Then I can give my 2-week notice and cest la vie as Rubin said.

 

out of the 26, i'm sure you'll find something you'll love

 

I got my first call for an interview today!!! It's for a Kindergarten teacher at a public school for kids who have tested as gifted in the arts!!!
