Well, things got worse again. My boss flipped out about something I did today, although recently the editor asked me to do exactly that. Unfortunately, communication with the editor was on slack and messages get erased pretty quickly, so I can’t document it. I had no reason think it would be an issue at the time. Our boss loves the editor, so I can’t win in a “she said-she said” against her, clearly. Then she said we need to talk about my supposed lower work quality lately next week when I go into the office.


I was honestly surprised by her comment, so I looked over some of the things of mine that were published lately and I really don’t see where the editors have changed anything to be honest. I’ve received a few requests from them but they were really minor, almost nitpicky. Things that were okay a month ago but now suddenly aren’t, with no warning.


I don’t know, after the editing debacle where much of my work was not edited last month, while that of others was, I have to think they are looking for anything to criticize my work. It wouldn’t be the first time from what I have heard. In the meantime, I continue to find major errors from the boss’ favorite pretty much every time I work on something she last updated, which the editor didn’t correct either.


I guess I should just start to realize that she wants me out. I am trying not to take it personally. The woman I do freelance work for is very happy with the quality of my work and has been sending me more things these days. Even the sociopath owner at my last company sent his minions to beg me to not leave several times after I announced I was quitting. Meanwhile, my current boss has a major turnover problem.


If she wants me gone, she will have to fire me. If she does that I get 2 months of severance pay along with my vacation time and a small unemployment payout. At least I will have that if I am let go, and hopefully the extra freelance work that has been coming my way recently will continue.
