Work

I hope your work environment improves - it sucks to be somewhere everyday that is toxic

Sure does suck being in that environment , that is unbelievable how they just fire people on the spot. So Heartless!!! Lindsay I believe in Karma and every dog has its day. Hang in there try to make the best of the situation and try not to stress over it. Easier said than done I know. I don't know about the job situation in Cananda but here in the states it's not so easy to get jobs with this economy.

I wouldn't want to work in a place like that. When I was fired from the SWCD it came as a big shock. When I asked them why I was being fired (since all my reviews were excellent) they said they were told by their attorney to not say. They tried to fight my unemployement claim and lost....guess that showed them...lol.

I always thought that keeping a low profile, and doing a good job is the best thing to do at work if there's trouble brewing.

Good luck Linds!!!

Thanks for the support everyone! We went to a work function for Scott's company on Saturday and at the end of the night I was sitting beside his boss, and he said "You knew I was going to ask you about this at some point tonight, but when are you going to jump ship and come work for me?" I laughed and said "Well, I've come close!" and he asked why I'm staying here, and that he had no idea we were treated so badly (referring to my asking for time off almost a year in advance and getting shut down, which Scott told him about). Then he asked if I'm staying just because of my dog or what. I said that's part of it, and also that I have the holiday time saved to go to Europe. He asked what will happen after Europe and I said I'd have to think about it then. He said just let him know when I'm ready.

Lindsey I don't know what your waiting for. Your opportunity is there don't let it go by.

Well, I'm waiting to take a month of for vacation this spring lol! I went for an interview with Scott's boss over a year ago, and he offered me a job then which I declined because I was making better money here at the time and Scott started working there so we wouldn't have to work together anymore. I'm worried about working with him again because it did strain our relationship and I'm also worried about how much it will cost to put Layla in daycare, and I know it will cost a lot for parking too (it's downtown, and right now I drop Scott off and park for free at my office). I know this opportunity won't just pass by because they are begging for people to work there! My career is in pretty high demand. But I need time to weigh the pros and cons, and I still want to keep my eyes peeled for work elsewhere too. If I could find another good company and NOT have to work with Scott, that would be ideal.
