I can't believe I have to post the same thing I posted many months ago, tracing back to the beginning of this year.  I swear, it feels like someone has placed a curse on me; bad things keep happening. 
 
I lost my job today.  Yes, again, another job.  I'm a hard worker and very efficient, but corporate America just doesn't seem to like me. 
 
 For a month on end, the office manager and supervisor proceeded to take me into weekly meetings where the office manager proceeded to berate me in just about every way a person can.  At every meeting, she called me stupid in a roundabout way.  And of course, my direct boss was too cowardly to tell me himself.  Instead, he sent his evil troops to tell me what a worthless piece of s*** I am.  I'm not, I'm really not. 
 
But that is corporate America, my friends. 
 
I swear, I can still see the condescending stare that woman gave me at every weekly meeting.  Oh, and by the way, there was an ad on the company website for my position for quite a while.  As of Monday, it had disappeared.  Coincidence?  I don't think so.

    I'm very sorry to hear that.  It sounds kind of underhanded, but I think you deserve to be treated better.  Don't you?  I hope you are blessed with something better very soon.

    Let me ask you something...if they kept hounding you for so long as apparently they didn't like you and sounds like they were blaming you for every little thing that happened...why did you stay so long?
    Thank God that you're out of there.
    I was... and maybe still am... on shaky ground at the job but I know I'm doing what's necessary (without kissing ass, I'm not good at that) and because I got the graveyard shift that nobody wants I'm sure that I can outlast most of the people there given half a chance.  Hurricane season is upon us and I know I'll volunteer to do the dirty work or unwanted shifts and to me that's job security because lately I can't bring myself to play the diplomatic social game and kiss ass to get a better schedule or position.  Time will tell.  I didn't ask for this and God looked out for me and He still is.  Just like He'll look out for you you'll see.
    Hang in there and persevere.

    Yes, management was berating me and trying to make me quit, primarily I assume, so they wouldn't have to pay unemployment benefits, but that's besides the point.  They are fuckers, as lucy said, and they have no place in my life.  I guess the reason I hung in for so long was because I wanted to teach them a lesson; that they can't just hound someone to the point of making them quit.  I am a strong person, and they were going to have to fire me before I would quit.  I was determined to make their lives a living hell. 
     
    And well...it was money.  It was something to pay the bills, a grunt job in other words.  But as my heart told me to give up and surrender, my vengeful spirit  told me to teach them a lesson and stay until they forced me out, to make their lives a living hell, because in their sad, sorry minds, I was a bug that needed to be squashed.  Or in their hateful minds, a brainless speck that filtered through their corporate chain.
     
    .  They yelled at me and called me stupid.  So what?!  What goes around comes around.  I once had a teacher in high school who did me wrong, and she lost the use of her right hand that summer.
     
      I have another possible interview looming.  Who's the stupid one now?
     
    But enough of me rubbing it in. 
     
    I guess I endured the pain, because I wanted to prove something to myself, that I am stronger than those assholes and actually have morals and a heart, which seem to be a foreign concept to them.
     
    Does it even really matter?
     
    I don't care what people like that think.  I have always been nice, too nice to the point that I am taken advantage of.  One of my weaknesses.  Though I'm perfect..just kidding..... = )
     
    And I'll leave you with that.  Now that I've burned your ears with explitives.
