Endings

A couple of days from now, I'll be starting work for a new company.

My previous employer thought that they did not need me anymore thus let me go. I do not really appreciate the circumstances under which I left. I was being offered a position which I felt I was not qualified for. Of course, I declined and that was when all the troubles & conflicts started.

Details aren't important at this point but I will say that upper management wanted me to "exit gracefully" because, according to them, I was guilty of insubordination. Furthermore, they said that my co-workers found me too dificult to work with.

Regarding the latter, I do not really know how they came up with such a story but I will sincerely say that every company I have worked with so far has increased my circle of friends; people who I still see, touch base with, and treasure deeply.

The issues that my former employer raised against me were all fabricated so that she could justify my being "booted out" of the company. Again, I will not go into details (at least not for now) but I will confirm that she had very devious plans which I was a hindrance to.

So did I put up a fight? Of course, I did! The truth was on my side. I told upper management that they had nothing against me (except for their own self-serving schemes) so that, legally, they could not terminate my employment. I stood my ground. And then, that was when they went to "Plan B"...

A memorandum was given to me in early January. It said that the company had decided to abolish my position. How could I contend with that? It was their prerogative and besides, I thought, if I stayed on, a huge rift had been created between my boss and myself that it would become very difficult to focus on work.

I accepted their offer and finally, signed the forms to end it all.
