Totally consumed with the revenge fantasy stage after getting screwed over by my former employer.

Two weeks ago I had a heated discussion with my supervisors golden employee because she was taking my work when I wasn’t around and passing it off as her own. I told her I wasn’t sure what kind of relationship she had with our boss that she felt it was appropriate to do that but that I wasn’t ok with it and I’d like it to stop. She got all emotional and tried to hug me and I told her I wasn’t comfortable with that and left.

Last Friday, with no warning whatsoever, my boss handed me my check and told me to leave. That I suddenly “wasn’t meeting expectations anymore and it was unfortunate things have to end this way.” He wouldn’t clarify, said it was “against policy to give details”. And that was it.

Technically I was a contract employee (they hate shelling out money for insurance so many of their employees are 1099) so I have no recourse. I’m just suddenly unemployed after two years.

My co-workers were horrified and texted me like crazy, raging against my idiot boss and the golden girl. They’ve all offered to be references and took me out to lunch. Clearly it wasn’t me being a shitty employee that caused this to happen, and that makes it so much harder to stomach.

It’s only been a few days but I’m trying to be positive and focus on my options and my therapist was super supportive and the boyfriend is amazing and I’m sure things will work out.

It just kinda all sucks right now.
