I had signed up for a training class back in August. Well apparently, the Training Department sent my reminder to my old boss at the University. The one who terminated me to hire a friend, a guy. GRRRR.
When I arrived today for my class my name wasn't on the list. I asked them what had happened and they pulled up a sheet showing that someone had cancelled my name for the class. For some reason they hadn't written down the person's name...which is unusual for them. I told them that the only people who have authority to cancel my name are my current boss, or myself.
After about an hour of talking, we've agreed that what most likely happened was that they sent my reminder letter to my old boss (who has no authority over me!!!!!) who then called and cancelled it.
The most likely reason she would have done it was to be petty and vicious.
I sat down with my current boss and told him the situation.
He was wonderful. He gave me a pep talk. Told me she's fired a warning shot across OUR bow. Said this was most likely the last harm she could attempt to do to me.
Said he'd like to beat her up for me. And then he actually opened up to me and told me about some of the things on campus that upset him.
I told him this situation just underlines how lucky I am to be working for him and his crew. They are the opposite of her. They work hard to present a professional image. My boss has up until today, been completely business like and professional. Barely showing a bit of his personal self, while my previous boss would sob to me about how awful her long distance boyfriend was treating her.
The termination was really a good thing because I wouldn't have left if she hadn't fired me. But now I work for a better crew of people and I get paid more.
So, I'll go back to focusing on the positives..but oooo...she made me angry.
