To my surprise, I was let go today. It came out of nowhere! No notice! (April 4th would have been 2 yrs there).
My manager said that the owners decided to "go in another direction."
They had already gotten rid of the woman who worked for them in Greensboro (doing all our marketing), taking it on themselves.
(They own the Greensboro, Raleigh, & Wilmington locations).
I was the office manager. They wanted someone to do more "web stuff," & the home shows. They even already hired someone!
Tomorrow is pay day, & one good thing, my manager said that they agreed to also pay me the next pay check as well, in two weeks,
so that at least is a blessing. I am also going to ask if I get any vacation days, sense they started over at the beginning of the year. That would be 5 extra days.
My manager is a really sweet guy. He tried to save it for me, by letting them know that I had talked to him a couple of weeks ago,
about starting to take on more by doing the ordering, to make more money.
He told me that he & his wife had been praying for me sense he found out he was going to have to let me go, & was hoping that an opportunity would have come along before he had to do it.
He said if I needed a reference letter, or anything, he would be glad to do that.
I of course was upset, & shed a few tears when he told me, but I am really surprised that I have actually been okay this afternoon.
(I came home & did some laundry & cleaned!)
I think/ hope that , that means something better is coming for me soon. I really hope so, Uh! the thought of dealing w/ unemployment again!!! AND, sense I will be getting another pay check, I'm pretty sure I won't even be able to file until after I get it.
I will be making some phone calls tomorrow.
Please keep me in your prayers!
