Thanks Sisabel. I remember reading about your work problems and it sounds very similar to what I am dealing with.

Unfortunately, as far as I have seen, HR is pretty worthless. No one either in upper management or HR seems to question why people in our department never stick around very long. My husband thinks it might be by design, that way they don't have to give people raises!


I was calculating, and if I do get severance, plus vacation time and the unemployment, it would be nearly 4 months salary, and I do have some freelance income coming in. So, it's not the end of the world. But, apart from one crappy restaurant job in college, I've never been fired from a job, and that sort of bothers me. I've been laid off before due to downsizing or a change in the company's focus, but never fired for performance.

I was reading a few of those sites where people can rate employers. There are a lot of complaints about the same issues I am having. I am sure some of those are directed towards my boss! In one case, it was clear they were talking about her, and it was not favorable. I think I know who wrote that one. He quit shortly after I started!


Oops, for some reason I got my timeline wrong, I started the job I quit in 2015, that lasted until April 2016. Then I took the freelance poisition with the current company in late 2016 and was offered a permanent job in early 2017.
