My eldest son has returned to Poland, engaged to his lovely girlfriend. My younger son has moved out and lives with friends in Biddeford. My mothers health has taken a definitely downward course, although not on deaths door, she's been within shouting distance, and requires someone to be with her - therefore, we've moved back in to her place - much better this time. Less crowded, more appreciated.
Lastly, we made the decision to leave our jobs at O********.(edit to omit name)
The place we'd hoped would be our last employment, something we felt was our calling - not just a job, but a career - a place we both valued and loved - has become just another fucking job.
The powers that be have proven to us we are not valued, or appreciated - we're just peons who work there - our dedication and devotion have been ignored. The paltry compensation they offered us so that we would return in the spring is insulting, and ridiculous for the amount of work they wanted (in case you're thinking I'm being petty - here's the breakdown: 12.00 hr for 10 hrs a week for me. I usually make 15.00 hr - 10.00 that's TEN DOLLARS AN HOUR for Kevin - which is the same shitty wage they paid him all summer - no raise - oh yeah, and they never paid him any overtime either all summer - for 20 hours a week).
They claim ignorance of verbal agreements - claim they don't know what Scott's agreements with us were, then changed the rules - ie - my housing was never included with my salary - which is BULLSHIT - Richard himself told me it was - but when I bring it up - no one knows what I could possibly mean - so, yeah, now they lie, too.
They never paid Kevin his summer wage - apparently they didn't have enough money in the budget - but they had money to hire a landscaper, and a fucking ARBORIST.... I'll bet I can venture a guess as to where Kevin's money went. Oh yes, and they took money out of HIS pay every week for housing that was SUPPOSED TO BE INCLUDED IN OUR SALARIES....yeah....I'm pissed very, very pissed.
I'm angry. I'm offended. But mostly, I'm hurt.
I really wanted this to work - I loved my job - I've worked harder and devoted more to this position than I have to any other job I've ever had - except motherhood.
I hope they're able to find people who will love that place the way we did - Good Luck O******** - (edited to omit name) because with the leadership you have now, you're going to need it.
