To Patty Re: employment & CP

January 29, 2004

My office manager is being a real

b$% &

h. She said that my job is full time position and if I couldn't work

40 hrs a

week then I would have to stay off work for 2 more weeks.

Dear Patty,

I can so sympathize. In Atlanta I had a DON that was absolutely

horrible. Ithink she was on some kind of power trip. I had been in

the hospital for 3 weeks, & got a letter telling me that I was close

to losing my job. So I went back the next day after getting home

from the hospital. The following day, I called b/c I absolutely

couldn't stop heaving & the pain was unbearable. I left a message

for ther that I was going back to the hospital, but didn't hear from

her. I went back to work the following Monday & she approached me &

said (in front of everyone that was standing there) that I was not

strong enough for this proffesion, & if I wanted to keep my job, I

had to take a paid months leave of abscense & MAYBE after that my job

MIGHT still be here. I didn't say anything b/c my jaw was hanging

open (so was everyone else's.) That afternoon, I said bye to the co-

workers there & apologized for not giving a two weeks notice, but

they were all very understanding & said if in the same situation,

they wouldn't either. ( I had been working there a year with no

abscenses & always went in for double shifts when someone else called

in sick.) The DON wasn't in her office by the end of my shift, so I

just left a short note stating that she knows where she can put this

job & I'm ashamed to be able to say that I ever even knew her. Never

looked back, but found out about a year later that not many people

liked her & a lot quit. So she got fired. I guess what goes around

comes around, Huh?
