Just like the title says.
Been at this company since April 2023 and it is in a helping profession. The families I have served have absolutely loved having me in their lives (based on what they tell me) and have not complained about anything, despite all the drama i’m dealing with at work.
This all started when my boss told me i was going to have to move from my stable salaried position to an hourly role (where cancellations are frequent and the pay is not nearly as consistent). I spoke up about how this felt unfair, as I had agreed to the job based on knowing I would be working at the salaried level. My boss then proceeded to “offer me some gentle feedback” which entailed her telling me that she is not going to change her mind just because i am “emotionally manipulating her”. Still not sure what she meant by that.
Anyway I sent an email back offering HER some advice. I explained some issues I had with the job up until this point, and wrote it out very eloquently and deliberately. I stated numerous true occurrences and how I had already reached out addressing these issues in the past, only to see no change. She really did not like that. Based on her replying to the email saying, AND I QUOTE……. “i didn’t like that.”
After that she put me on a behavior plan for professional communication. I’ve been trying to fly below the radar while i look for another job, and i’ve been really trying to be on my best behavior (and by that i mean not send any emails). We just had a 3 day weekend and I see my schedule is no longer available to me; and she set up a meeting one on one with me.
So ya. Second time getting fired in my life, and hopefully the last. I’ve been crying and i’m currently writing this at 2am as I can’t sleep. I’m thinking of my clients and all the amazing joyful moments we have shared and how hard it is going to be to let all that go because of a spiteful, hateful, bitter employer.
ADVICE—- is it better to wait and be fired or just quit? I know if i get fired i will have a chance of getting unemployment; but at this point i don’t know what she has up her sleeve.
Thanks for reading 🙁
Ps she’s making me wait until the end of the working hours to meet with her. so i get to stir about this all day today while still going to work
