Redemption
I spoke with a friend of mine from my T-Mobile days today. It was the first time we'd spoken since I left T-Mobile two years ago. My exit from T-Mobile has always been a major source of angst for me. I hated that job and hated the company and hated the women whose group I was moved to even more.
The choice was mine to go but if I hadn't I probably would have been fired. I decided to resign and in my exit interview told the HR person and my boss just what a bitch she was, and that I had been warned about working for her and also that everyone she supervised loathed her just as much as I did. I told them both my boss had a reputation for sabatoging and undermining her employees and that I was experiencing exactly what I'd been told would happen at her hands. I remember sitting in that interview room across the table from my boss, who was around 5'2" and weighed close to 450 pounds, and thinking about how much I wanted to ask her: "Lisa, how long has it been since you've seen your vagina?" But I didn't, I just said my piece, took my severance and left.
I always took all the blame on myself for that situation until I spoke with Rich today. He told me that he too had to work with this woman and she was also the worst boss he ever had. She's no longer with the group I was at while I worked for T-Mobile. Rich said that his therapy bills were the highest they'd ever been while he worked with our old boss and that before she was moved out of his group he was almost to the point of quitting.
I felt really good after hearing all this. In addition to knowing I was right and that my friend's words proved it so, he also told me that word had got around about what I'd said in my exit interview and everyone agreed with me 100%.
Geez I feel such redemption. My own sense of insecurity combined with my ex-boyfriend's insistence that it was "my fault" that I'd left T-Mobile had combined to make things really difficult for me. But now I know I was right. My boss was at fault, not me and in the end, I am a pretty good person, despite what T-Mobile and my ex say.
