Month: May 2023

I officially end on Friday and my boss is trying to make me call and collect thousands of dollars from an old lady who paid the amount they told her to pay originally. Apparently it was a mistake on management’s part. I want no part of trying to take this money from someone that I had no involvement in the mistake. Should I resign or just refuse or what?

So, I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do. I was laid off in April in a phone call, They have not provided me a letter of separation which is interfering in my ability to seek a forbearance on my mortgage and other things. I also want this for my records. More than that, this is something they are legally required to provide in my state. I emailed the director of HR, and she didn't respond, so I sent a third email, letting her know that I was not asking this as a courtesy and laid out that they are required to provide this. When I sent this third email, she revealed that she had sent her responses to my previous work user account instead of my personal email. I do not have access to my old work email any longer. She assured me she…

Edit: just wanted to update and add that I’m not saying this principal is a bad guy for saying that in the email. I think it’s a systematic issue that creates the idea that “good” teachers work outside of contract hours. When I got this email, I laughed and said “ew” and haven’t responded. The email itself is not that deep. I’ve just already spent 40+ hours doing free labor in the program I’ll be taking over this coming school year so this was a big eye roll for me. Principal sent an email to all the new teachers in the district… This was the second line. “Your contract does not officially have you beginning work until August, but we all know good teachers will begin preparing during the summer months.” Free labor means you’re a “good teacher” I guess.

Short story. My husband has worked for the same company for 16 years. He is in a skilled trade and loves what he does but now that he’s married and a father he wants to do something else and I respect that. His boss has been a fcking D!CK to him now that he’s leaving. Calling him on his cell, badgering him about the dangers of new job, gaslighting him, and even saying “well, we pay this much for your insurance and how much more will you be making at (unnamed new profession)” Really unprofessional sht. So just know, you can give *16 years of your life to a company and it will truly never be enough.
