One year anniversary of leaving my crappy job

-

 A year ago, on May 19, 2020 I walked out and quit my job. Please scroll down to read the entry, if you don't recall what happened.


What did I learn from this experience?

The leadership was super phony. I was told by some that they really cared about me, but it was all a lie. I have not heard from any of them since I left.

The leadership sided with the woman who discriminated against me. 

How did she discriminate against me?  She punished me for going to the doctor and allowed a male employee to go to the doctor without any consequences. My bonus was decreased because of the punishment. 

I also faced discrimination by an immigrant. I was told, "It's not my fault you are white."

The employer was super focused on no discrimination against anyone's race and  an members of the LGBTQIA community, that they failed to recognize discrimination against white women. 

I learned that I will NEVER work below my education level again. I was too damn smart for the job. I knew more about management than the actual managers. Example, I volunteered to work the election and was told that I would have to use my vacation time or I wouldn't be allowed to participate. I had to go over my boss' head, so I didn't have to use my vacation time.

I always participated in any fundraiser, food day, volunteer opportunity, I organized boss' days, and birthday celebrations. How was I treated in return? Well, I was hospitalized twice in one year for surgeries, one in March and one in December and I received NOTHING. The leadership couldn't even be bothered to send me a 99 cent card. 

After I told my employer I was in the hospital, I was required to call in each day. I was out for almost two months. I was told that if I didn't  I wouldn't have a job.

I cannot imagine ever treating someone the way I was treated by these people.

I learned NEVER to tolerate verbal abuse by anyone and that includes customers. I was forced to take a lot of verbal abuse and it traumatized me. Am I over exaggerating? Nope. It has taken me months to heal.

Juvi didn't show up for court on a shoplifting charge

 I looked up the verdict on the one criminal mischief charge and shoplifting charge and found that he didn't show up for court.  What happens now? According to the court, a warrant could go out for his arrest, or it could be continued to another date. The other charges: third degree domestic violence and criminal mischief have been continued to August. I will keep you posted. I am really hoping for a prison sentence on the domestic violence charge. This is not his first time being charged with domestic violence.

American Century Golf Tournament

 They are super slow at updating the charities the winners were playing for.  I assume that Jason Kelce donated the $5K he won to the Eagles Foundation for Autism, but I don't know for sure because the website hasn't been updated. He won the longest shot over 3 days ago.  https://americancenturychampionship.com/events/korbel-events/ So, I looked this up on 1.10.25 and the information is still not available. I did find something interesting Jason Kelce earned the 87-spot ranking in the tournament. Hopefully you know the significance of this number.

Money saving tips for week ending 8.14.2020

One thing to keep in mind, one place is not less expensive on all items. I once had a friend share with me that they buy all of their cleaning supplies at the Dollar Store. I checked it out, but I found that the name brand products were more per ounce than Walmart. I also learned that by purchasing off brands, I was using more than I was with the name brand, which equaled more money spent. Costco does have some items cheaper than Amazon, but be careful because not all are cheaper.  For example  Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are around $10 for a package of 11 at Costco, but you can purchase 9 of them on Amazon for $6.97.  Another thing to be aware of with Costco, you can have your orders delivered to your, but the items cost more. For example, Neutrogena Body Wash is around $16 in the store and $19 if delivered to your door. I am not saying never have things delivered.  I am working on an order for delivery because I only need a couple of items and don't want to go into Cos...
