Hello and Happy Sunday!
On the Home Front: Okay, so hubby got a phone call on Fri evening (9/6) from the corporate office regarding his termination. He was told a mistake had been made (I'm paraphrasing their bullshit words, but what it boils down to is he was unjustly fired) and they wanted him to come back to work on Monday (9/9). WTF After talking with hubby about it, he really did not trust the company and did not want to return to the toxic environment management has created. Period. He knew if he did return, it was only a matter of time before they fired him again. We do not doubt this at all. You guys, the money is good there and we could really use it, but why would he return to that? In addition, the company said they would NOT reimburse him for lost wages. They could not "pay him for hours he did not work". Seriously?! If they had not made a mistake he would not have been fired, and he would have worked those hours! Fuck them. Fuck them, fuck them, fuck them. So, he's staying at the job he just got. He likes it even if it really doesn't pay enough. Hubby turns 51 today. Life is too short to put up with a toxic and stressful environment. We'll figure something out.
In other news, Anna turned 22 on Friday. That makes two birthdays this weekend. Yay for cake!
Touching Nature: Been hot. Too hot for September. Ugh. Yesterday was cloudy and not too hot though, so I vacuumed 4 vehicles, but only washed 2: my Pilot and Anna's Civic.
Book News: I wrote 2 reviews, drafted some posts, finished another book. So, I currently have 3 reviews to write.
Don't Touch That Dial!: Still watching Mindhunter. Fascinating show. We have 4 episodes left then we'll probably move onto Dexter.
At the Flicks: Nada
Cyberspace Playground: Nope
Randomness:
Carol's Nuggets of Wisdom: The time to do it is now.

Happy birthday to my fellow Virgo, your husband!
ReplyDeleteYou already know how I feel about the other stuff!
I told him. :)
DeleteI do! It's so fucked up.
Sorry about the job stuff, that fucking sucks! As much as the extra money could have been great I think it's better to just walk away. You guys really don't need that shit. That really just pisses me off.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week, Carol! Happy Reading!
It's so fucked up. Integrity my big fat white ass.
DeleteCake is good!
ReplyDeleteI’m with you, fuck them, the whole schtik just sounds like their attempt to dodge a lawsuit. Make em pay.
Have a great reading week
Cake is delicious! Though I'm more a pie person myself. lol
DeleteWe're working on some things. If nothing comes of it at least we tried.
Good for your husband! I think he is right life is too short to work in such toxic environment.
ReplyDeleteThat's what we think. Thanks! :)
DeleteThe nerve of some people. Sounds like the best choice to not return to that job. I really liked Mindhunter and Dexter is one of my favorite shows. I plan to binge it again. I'm watching Unbelievable right now. Really liking the show so far.
ReplyDeleteThey are so fucking ridiculous. Grrr!
DeleteMy daughter has watched all but the end of Dexter. It looks pretty good. :)
Mmmm, cake! I do love cake.
ReplyDeleteWell done on you and your husband for not going back there! I remember reading your post outlining what happened with his previous employers and they were completely shitty and even though the money is better somethings are just not worth it. Shows they're obviously scared of an unfair dismissal suit though...
Good on your husband for staying firm and walking away from the toxic job. I hope the new one works out.
