Last Friday after getting written up and what turned out to be a very emotional meeting between my supervisor and I (not good emotional-I walked out bawling), I sent my supervisor my letter of resignation. Since then it has been very awkward between my supervisor and me. My supervisor knew that I didn't like her, but it is ridiculous. She had a party for the last two people who left and got them a gift and was very nice to them. I know she isn't going to do anything for me. It's not that I'm mad because I'm not getting anything, it's just that it really shows that she really doesn't like me either. She brought out the borderline in me and I wasn't always very nice to her. I felt like she set me up for failure because she gave me way more work than I could get done in the 25 hours a week that I worked in the office. Anyways, this awkwardness between us now is driving me crazy. I'm considering talking to her or emailing her to try to clear up a few things so that I don't leave with us hating each other. I don't want to disclose my MI to her, but I feel like I owe her some explanation/apology of my behavior towards her. Another reason that I'm considering this is because I'm staying on as a per diem staff, not in her area though. I think I would have a more positive outlook with the company if I could clear a few things up with her. What is holding me back from doing it is that I don't know if it would really do any good. Also, I wouldn't know how to go about wording it without disclosing my MI. I'm so confused right now as to what to do.

What if you jot down the pros and cons of apologizing to her?

You could apologize without explaining or mentioning MI. Here is a hypothetical example:

Quote:
I'm sorry that I lost my temper at times with you. I am going to keep that under better control in the future.

Thanks Bill. I did send my supervisor an email today, so now I'm waiting to see if she responds.
Thanks for this!
