This is the only way I know to get rid of my anger. If I'm going to move on I have to get this out of me. I was betrayed. For what? There must be something to gain for him. A big raise this year, because now he was able to save more money by hiring a new guy for half of what I was worth. Plus, by setting me up to be fired he won't have to worry about giving out a severance package. Some say he was intimidated and had to get rid of me to feel more superior.
This whole thing makes me sick.
Really I would like to nominate Jeff for employee of the month for being such a good example to me of what not to be.
For several months he had me wasting my time by designing things he was never going to use. I guess that was supposed to make me angry so I would just quit, except that I don't like to lose. So in the end the only way to get rid of me was to use his imagination to come up with the worst review he could think of. It's just not right and I have been battling with the rage inside of me all weekend.
I'm trying my hardest to remember the lesson I learned Sunday.
"The ability to turn everything into something good appears to be a godly characteristic. Everything, no matter how dire, becomes a victory to the Lord. People who follow the Lord's example cannot be defeated".
To me this is not an easy feat.
One other thing I thought of was a quote from a great movie.
"Life is a storm. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes."
I'm praying I can make it through this storm.
