I once got accused of sending out a payment to a vendor-—when there were not funds to cover it....on a Friday
When vendor called ON MONDAY 11 AM, boss/owner blamed me for sending it out when he said not to.
HE ACTUALLY had ordered me to send it-—despite my argument.
As he was trying to smooth talk the vendor, I interrupted the conversation & told the vendor what really had happened-—I HAPPENED TO ACTUALLY KNOW THE GUY WHO WAS CALLING....
AS I hung up & was gathering my personal items off the desk & writing a paycheck for PRIOR WEEK & 3 hours of that day, I could hear all the nonsense he was trying to shove over onto me.
When he came into my office, he was livid.
I SAID : SIGN these-—the 2 checks.
WHY? BECAUSE I AM DONE—I AM LEAVING.
YOU CAN’T!!
WANNA BET???
I took all my personal items-—went directly to bank & cashed checks. NEVER WORKED FOR THE GUY EVER AGAIN-—I HE HAD BEGGED ME FOR MONTHS TO COME WORK FOR HIM BECAUSE PRIOR LADY WISHED TO RETIRE.
LAST time I had a job that was from only one source.
I went self-employed & NEVER looked back. That was 1980.
I am glad you left. Did you know you had something waiting?
Some people don't feel they can leave a job, even when they should.
