I am meeting my CEO for lunch today. I sooooooo wish I could be upfront and transparent with him about what happened with my boss. I wish I could say, you know, I know there were difficulties between me and my boss and perhaps that made it more difficult to keep me on or to promote me. BUT I CANNOT SAY ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't want to taint his glowing reference for me for any future job opportunities, and I don't want to indirectly be telling him that he wasn't entirely honest with me. So I have to keep my mouth shut, brush everything under the rug and pretend that it wasn't an issue. That sucks because I am SO honest and SO forthcoming. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. I hate pretending ,and I hate playing political games. But that's what this is. I hope this goes well. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

It's been nearly 2 months since I was laid off. I've been on unemployment benefits for one month. My severance pay lasted one month.
I've basically been taking a vacation while applying for at least 1 job per week. I've gone to the beach once a week, and I've collected myself. I needed some serious down time after my last work experience to bring my mental health back to a better level. And I do feel better now. This time has been beneficial for me. For a while, I was scared to return to work right away due to my fear of facing yet another toxic work environment. And I was angry about what had happened at my last job. Now I am ready to turn my attention more seriously to the job search. I may take some webinars to refresh my knowledge and skills - freebie ones, of course, because I have very little funds from unemployment. I am ready to put my last job behind me and move on. So that's good. I am glad and grateful that I've had this time to regroup. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |
