I came into work Monday morning and my boss called me into her office. She sat me down and told me that due to the $200,000 that we are in the red, my position was being eliminated and my duties were being assigned to the remaining staff.
The next few moments were surreal; she outlined the severance package: (1 month salary and paying me out my PTO and another month of health insurance), and asked if I had any questions.
Over the roaring sound in my ears, I was able to choke out, “There’s really nothing to say, is there? You’ve made up your mind.”
She said it was a difficult decision and one she did not take lightly. I wholeheartedly disagree: she did not like that I questioned her about the potential office move. The way she treated me after that incident was totally different from how it was before.
I gathered my things and left. She had told all the others to either not come in or to come in late-which I find incredibly shady. I find it odd that this comes only 3 days after I reached my membership and sponsorship goals last week. I was the Membership Director. I think she will find that this was the wrong decision, especially with only a month to go before conference.
I am a mess. An utter mess. A month ago my boyfriend broke up with me. 4 weeks later this happens. I have to have faith that this is part of God’s greater plan for my life, but it is so hard to see that right now.
I’ve applied for several jobs, and have more to go. And you better believe that I’ve already filed for unemployment! They have to pay for doing this to me!
I am worried about money. Rent and a new car payment and other bills scare me. I have a bit of time, but not a lot. If you would all keep me in your thoughts and prayers, I would appreciate it!! Any possible ideas or leads would be appreciated!
