Hopefully the FINAL update on my Wife's work situation!

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Well, it's finally over.

It was supposed to be taken care of at noon today but her boss ran late and didn't get there until about 4pm. Nothing like letting DW stress a few extra hours, huh?

Anyway, the boss came with a typed out final termination paper outlining all of his violations for the past 2 months and the summary that his employment was immediately terminated. She read it to him and he was NOT too happy.

He spent the final 15 minutes clearing out his belongings trashing my wife. He said that she would need all the luck she could get because she can't do the job. He accused her of stealing. He said she was a mess. He said that she is a waste of the company's money and a lousy manager that has no business being in that position.

Nothing was done to shut him up, and even though DW knows that he is a delusional lying sack of worthless waste of a carbonbased life form, she still cried on the way home. It's hard for her. She tries so hard to maintain a high level of excellence in her store - she received the rank of top 20 in the NATION for customer service, top 5% in the nation for loss prevention, and has won 95% of the sales contests put to her. Yet the words stung and hurt her beyond belief. He's scum. Nothing but worthless scum as far as I am concerned. He is miserable in his own life and knows he is a screwup and to make himself feel better he has to pick apart someone else. He sees DW as an easy target because of her bad health right now and he was going to try to ride that train right into town. What a miserable piece of trash to do that to someone already suffering more than one person should on their own.

Anyway, it's over. She can't tell the employees what happened or why it happened. She can only tell them that he no longer works there. I'm sure he will be calling them on the phone and trashing her as soon as he can. Hopefully the ones that he "snowed" will know the truth.

Thanks for the warm wishes, the thoughts, the advice and the help. It means a lot to both of us. Right now what DW needs to to be reassured that those were the words of a desperate loser - not the truth.

Thank goodness it is essentially over. Hopefully 2006 will be a fantastic year for her!

 

[doxdogy]

I am glad that it is finally over for her. Please give her a hug from me.

Keeping the prayers coming!

 

[Rajah]

It's about **** time!

Prayers and support for your DW!!

 

[rascalmom]

Glad to hear that the situation has been resolved. Hopefully this will be the start of the a very Happy New Year!

 

[Honu]

Oh yeah, the suckiest thing about management - not being able to tell the staff what really happened.

She did a great job taking the high road and she should be proud of that. The more he vents and complains to his former co-workers, the worse he will look - if that's even possible at this point! It's OK to cry as a release that this is finally over, but he is not worth one tear. She never has to see his stinking face again.

 

[safetymom]

Glad to hear he is finally out of the store. Now she can relax a little and hopefully she will regain her health. I hope 2006 is a wonderful year for both of you.

 

[Lyn5]

I am so glad that management finally stepped up. I hope this is the end of it and I hope that your DW feels better without the stress he added. I think it is wonderful that he is gone before Christmas....your DW must be on the good list and Santa came early

 

[cabmom]

It's finally over!!! Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Don't let him ruin it for you!

I would still make sure security at the mall is notified. Is there a servaillence camera of the parking lot? This may really push him over the edge.

[mrsheppo]

to your DW. She has endured more than anyone ever should have. Hope next year will bring better health for her.

May your holidays be peaceful. Give her a hug from all her friends on the DIS.

Thanks for the update. I was thinking about today when I saw your beautiful Christmas tree photos posted this weekend. So glad it's over.

 

[MsLeFever]

So so very glad to hear that this nightmare has ended for her!

 

[Microcell]

My Dh has gone through this so many times himself, someone literally out to get him when (I worked for him, so I say this with no bias) he was a nice guy and opened up the door at times to be attacked by being nice. I often asked why he was still nice at all (like giving vacation time when he shouldn't to be nice etc...) when they spoke so badly of him, and he said that he just wanted to be liked, that no one likes to feel like they are hated.

I always told him to forget them (not what I actually said) but it is easier said than done.

Take a deep breath ML and it will be okay.

* When I say he shouldn't have given time off it was when it would have been better for the business for more help, or he would work open to close to get the day off for someone etc...

 

[Sparx]

glad its finally over! I'm sorry that he hurt her feelings. Shes great at her job,and she doesnt' need to wrory about what a failure like him says to her about it. Give her a hug for me, please.

I have to agree here. I think she needs to be aware of her surroundings at all times. If he should make contact in anyway, go to the police right away.
This guys anger and hatred towards your wife is really scary.

 

[barkley]

i truly hope this is the end of it. is there any type of policy in place to keep him out of the store, or restrict his access-he just strikes me as the type who might show up just to harrass your dw. i've worked at companies wherein a terminated employee could not return to their physical job site for a specified period of time just to prevent this type of conflict (sometimes 30 days as a cooling off period).

 

[gradtchr]

I pray this is the end of it for her and that she can rest now. He was a whole lot of words that I can't post on the Dis but wish I could say to his face.

 

[Pooh67_68]

So glad to hear that he is finally gone. Tell Lauri not to worry, creeps like him only say such things because they are the ones lacking.

Big for Lauri
