I'm feeling like I've been so used at my current (soon to be past) job. It hasn't gone well since the beginning. I've struggled to get hours, and as an independent contractor I don't make money unless I'm working. I can't pay my bills, I can't save any money to move, I can't do anything. So I've been looking, and I was offered a new job yesterday.

I still hadn't quite decided how or when to tell my employer that I was quitting, until today. I had to go in for a meeting (a non-billable meeting), and finally figured out why I got the job in the first place. I was just there for the owner to dump her problems on!! When I got there today, she said she couldn't give me any more clients in a program we run until I was caught up on the ones I have. This program was supposed to be my money maker, since it pays $100 an hour and I was told I'd have a full caseload pretty much immediately. Right now I have 2 clients. The only one with anything not caught up on is the first one I got. Her file was behind by almost 2 weeks when it was given to me. The problem then was that my employer couldn't contact the client. I haven't been able to contact her either, and was told I had to try for 90 days before I could pass the file on.

So, being behind in this case is in no way my fault. But I'm being punished for it? This is pure BS in my eyes. I'm so thankful that I was offered this new job yesterday, but it makes me so angry to feel that I've been used since being given this job. It hurts, and it's making me really anxious to email my resignation. I just can't believe that I've been treated like this, especially by someone I used to admire and respect.
