I must admit I knew it was coming.
I got taken into a meeting, ostensibly to discuss the numerous postings I had
tried to make to other positions. Instead I was told that the call center
environment is not a good fit for me, and that they would be happy to accept
my resignation rather than have to terminate me; in return, I would be given
a severance of close to two grand and confidentiality if and when someone may
call for references. I don't know if I'm being a jackass or not, but I took
it. It's all rhetorical, it's a firing, no matter what kind of pretty
language you want to wrap it in; and no matter how flowery the wrapping and
how bright the bow, the package is still full of bullsh*t.
So I am out, for better or worse.
I knew something was in the works today; Stosh came into the bedroom after I
got up, agitated as all hell, tail low; and when I gave him a pet, he jumped
back in such a fright that he scared Brandy in turn, and she landed on my
husband's tuchus with claws fully out. They *know.* I don't know how, but
they know.
Purr then, and purr loudly: I'm fired. I need a job. Anyone in the market for
me?
Blessed be,
Baha

I think, in the circumstances, you were wise to take the 2K and give
them your resignation and get good references from them for the
future--it showed maturity and good judgement in an unhappy situation,
AND you didn't force them to do the worst possible thing. I'm sorry,
though, it feels lousy being fired. I almost got fired from my first
job after college, and I felt HORRIBLE for days. (In retrospect, I
should have just quit that job--I had real problems with my boss). So
you have my sympathy.
I will only say this: the job did not sound like the world's best fit
for you. Hopefully, you'll be able to find a much better job, soon.
