Fired
-
So today I was fired. After 15 yrs, 3 yrs with the weasel (apologies to critter weasels) that fired me. Our first year and a half was great. The last year has been torture. He would say my brain does not work right, I lack fundamental skills, I am odd.. but never in writing or in front of other staff (well, once in front of HR, but she did not even bat an eye). I am older and fear prospects are few.
I got good and drunk tonight, only to have my sister's fell pony have a colic episode and I could not get over there because I was not safe to drive. Still don't know what outcome will be, but banamine seems to have helped for now. So now I feel like a double failure between getting fired and not being able to help my sister with her pony while she is at work.
Anyway, just had to unload, my furkids just don't understand why I am so sad and crying on and off. -
I’m so sorry. Good thing you have your furkids

I am so very sorry.. what field were you in? The furkids will give lots of lovins.

I was recently fired too. Out of every job i had this one was the worst. I loved working with animals and helping them feel better but the staff i worked with were beyond childish. They were young, didnt want to do much work and did alot of talking bad behind eachothers backs. It got to a point where if i was doing something project wise so the doctors would see my efforts they would go behind me and mess things up on purpose. I was once around when they were laughing about doing it. There was one who even when she was in the wrong and she knew it she would threaten to punch whoever she was mad at infront of the group of girls. I worked former law enforcement so lots of self defense training ,and was sooo waiting for her to actually do it i was really hoping she would. The biggest problem of them all were the doctors. They had favorites "which was the young girl who likes to threaten people" and they had the people they didnt really care for. So the people they favored got to not follow rules, had the highest pay check, and didnt need to do hardly any work ,but the people who they didnt care for were constantly yelled at about things not getting done to its fullest potential or to their standards, all had to work the weekends, were not allowed to have phones or take pictures, if you were trying to make up any time and took short lunches you would be wrote up for any of the above issues. I tried so hard to stick it out because in the begining it wasnt so bad, it wasnt till a few years later they hired the two girls who started this whole negativity mess and the doctors are blind by it all. On my 4th year anniversary they let me go with "it wasnt working out" along with other employees who did do their jobs that they didnt care for. Its been 4 months and still trying to get a job. I get interveiws but as soon as they go to do job reference thats when i dont hear back from the jobs. Never in my life have i ever had a hard time getting a job. Im to a point i may ask a friend whonowns her buisness to call and do a job reference and see what is exactly being said that is turning jobs away. Wldmstnglvr please know you are not alone. I am very sorry your going through this and been mistreated by a company youve put all your time and effort into for years! You deserve a better job with better manager to work for! I hope something good comes your way soon, and i hope your sisters pony makes it out okay! Colic can be scary for sure!

Thanks all for the support.
Most importantly, the pony is fine. She has a bad hip (broken pelvis yrs ago from foaling a too big foal-not us, the people she was rescued from). Turns out it was giving her a great deal of pain. So the banamine helped. She is 24 and we are looking at quality of life issues. We still have daytime temps of over 105, but nights get down into 80's. And the cold aggravates the leg/hip. And I know that sounds crazy saying 80 degrees is cold. Such is life in AZ.
It still has not quite sunk in I will not be going in to work on Monday. But I have had great messages from team members expressing shock and dismay. So it helps reinforce it was the weasel only. Still sucks.
Not sure what next steps will be. I got a little bit of severance so I have a bit of time that I don't just have to take first job available.

so sorry to hear that. it is very upsetting and maddening at the same time. i was fired too from a job that i put a lot of hard work in fixing alot of payroll issues. i was pissed off for a long time and bitter.
but i discovered where one door closes, another one opens to a better place.
keep looking for that other door, it is open already for you. you just have to find it!
