Asshole manager got his wish. He's been gunning for me for years. 10 years of service down the tubes. Fuckin jerk.

1. Problems are coming to a head these days.
Yesterday, I was forced to move into a different house in the "program" I'm part of, in spite of my blood pressure being at 182 (before the forced move). It's just a start for my month. Hopefully yours will fare better.

:hug:

8. we tried. Lawyer and union sez nope.
If the union was more powerful, it would be a different story. I'm not bitter at the union whatsoever. I will work union if i get the chance.

He waited for one slight screwup and whammo. My company got bought out by the Carlye Group so you can just imagine just how that's going. Cut here cut there. They didn't want to lay me off cause they would have to relocate me. It was cheaper for them to shit can me.

10. You could have at least gotten unemployment if they layed you off.
I think some companies do that just so they know you cant get unemployment.

6. I'm very sorry.
:hug:

The huge mass of the great unemployed is not a group anyone wants to be part of. :(

I can only add my hopes to those of others, that this will get better for you. I hope there is a better job someplace else, soon, looking for you. :)

Jerk Asshole Manager has a target on my back...found out today, he filed an HR action against me... just got another job offer today also which I accepted, but I'm also responding to the HR action too - there are some totally illegal things he's done..I'm turning over the entire enchilada to HR..I found out today,he was thrown out of another dept for harassing someone, ..Screw him,even if I won't be around to see it..
