I think I've mentioned several times that I was unemployed and grateful, especially when I was able to watch every game of the World Cup.
The circumstances, however, I kept to myself.
Well, tonight, that's over.
I left a job because I was forced out of it. A new administrator was hired to do the ass licking bidding of owners who are only interested in making money for themselves.
Four years ago, when I was hired, the place was a fun place to work and my best friend was there. Shortly after, my friend was promoted Assistant Director of Nursing. Within a month, she lost the position because she didn't fit into the "blonde and blonder" group, this dump's version of an upper echelon.
She was sent back to the floors as a nurse manager, clearly a demotion, and there were weekends when she was the only RN on duty during her shift.
I tried to cheer her on and say that it was only temporary but I really knew better. Last March, she died and a part of me went with her but not far enough from the dump.
I stayed because I needed the money like everyone else. Meantime, a new administrator was hired and I can admit that I never had a "read" on her. She pretended to hate the owners but talked against them every time they came. Yet she did their bidding.
One can only imagine the salary of an ass licker, but a duplicitous ass licker!!!!!
Those of us who are older (and I only admit that in age) knew that the handwriting was on the wall.
However, younger people were fired first because they were making "too much money" or had been there a long time.
Like Phil Ochs, "when I've got something to say, I'm going to say it now".
I did not do the ass licker's bidding and soon realized with all the work being heaped upon me (and it was stupid work, stupid assignments) that my time had come. Some would say, "Let them fire you so you can collect unemployment".
I have always believed in saving myself because you see no one will save you if you don't make the first move.
Tonight, I heard from a friend, a friend I have to admit, that I knew the ass licker would fire. She is a beloved woman, loved by everyone who ever worked with her, unless you're an ass licker.
Her time to leave has come and, probably, been decided upon months ago.
The best part was that she was asked to come in next week and help the new hire. She said "No".
The second best part was that she was asked if she wanted to come back next week so the staff could give her a farewell party.
Ass Licker, this isn't a farewell.
You fired her.
What are you smoking or has all that blonde bleach gone into any brain that you might have had?
All businesses have the right to terminate any employees who do not fulfill their obligations. They also have the right to terminate their employees when they can no longer afford to keep them or their businesses viable.
However, to fire people whose loss destroys the morale of the business working place is not good business.
I don't regret one moment of my decision. After all, I got to watch every game of the World Cup.
I do regret not seeing the people that I cared for and respected for a period of 4 years.
That last statement does not apply to ass lickers.
The Bible says, "This, too, shall pass".
Shakespeare has Hamlet say, "Every dog shall have his day".
And, then, there's Karma.
However, there is something the ass licker might consider especially when she sneaks out early because she fired a beloved employee.
Your owners, and they own you, will find someone to lick their posteriors (and they are massive) and that person will have a longer tongue and do it better than you. And when they find that someone, she will work cheaper than you.
My only question to you, then, will be did the flavor hold up and was it worth it?
