Cutting Ties

0

The moment I knew I was 100% ready to leave my former job was actually after I got hired for my new job.  As standard practice, the HR manager with job #2 called my supervisor at job #1.  Apparently he gave me a glowing recommendation.  Until.  Until she asked if there was anything he’d like to add.  And this is where my respect for him plummeted.  I actually flushed my respect for him down the toliet with some digested Mexican food.  He said, and I quote, “I am sad Heidi is leaving, but I know she has to take care of her situation.” 

Situation.  Situation?

What?  What situation do I have…

..OH NO YOU DI’IN’T….

He was talking about the fact that I’m a mother.  A single mom, at that.  I confronted him about it.  I told him that it was not his place to make that derogatory, personal remark about my daughter.  Maybe he’ll understand when he has priorities in his life, aside from drinking and work.  Maybe when he learns the difference between the right thing and wrong thing to say.  I mentioned that I sincerely hope by the time he matures, he doesn’t view children as a situation. 

He emailed me recently.  Told me that he’s sorry that I left on an unhappy note and that he didn’t mean it as it was spoken.  Forgiven.  But not forgotten. 

Please, mock me, make fun of me, degrade me….but never my daughter.  Never. 

I received my last check from job #1.  And that means I have officially cut ties with them.  Good riddance.  Please dwell on the fact that your attendance sucks, the fans are disgruntled and the employees are downright miserable.  But at least they don’t have situations….right?
