aaah, many swears old workplace resignation letter sent. I was super stressed right after then but and an aa friend called very soon after which was at just the right time. First time I'd wanted to drink in a month. That call, food, an anti anxiety med and some strong camomile tea and I'm deeply at ease again and feel like booze would be a very bad idea. End of an epoch of my life. I worked there for almost 17 years and they've always had shit management which really failed me when I needed their support. I expected a lot more solidarity from the staff also but received absolutley none, not even an are you ok? I'd given mine so freely and to my own detriment as the most senior member of staff. They're all on my resentment list. FUCK THEM! Their memories will fade away as I make better connections and they'll still be spineless psycophants. I deliberately avoid places I may see them because I really don't like my chances of keeping my cool around them. Ok, rant over. No stew made, but I think dinner is planned with some aa people after this evening's meeting. end rant, thanks for reading dear DT friends.
It hurts a lot when you’ve given so much of you to a job and nobody gives a shit when you leave. I know one shouldn’t feel that way, it’s just a job, but personally I felt really upset, I try so hard. (8.5 years ….. shitty management can fuck off)
Yeah I was angry bitter and disappointed that people I actually trusted as friends basically deserted me when I needed them most. The only people who could really understand why I was so let down by management, because they have the same shit management and unsafe workplace. This was the final nail though, I have let it all go. Harbouring resentments and seeking revenge or being litigant destroys my chance of helping those sick people be better to the next person they have the chance to desert or lie about being supportive to.
I have to work on bettering myself and they have to be honest with themselves before they'd accept my support anyway. A lot of people would rather bitch than try and change the status quo. This is true in every facet of society.
