Well, my struggle with the workplace continues.
My offer to resign effective Dec 31 is acceptable. But the Superior Professor ran the idea by the Human Resources Drone who reminded her that she can still keep the corrective action/dismissal process in force, putting me at continued risk of losing any chance of re-employment at the University. I’ve already offered to leave, three times since June: what’s the benefit to “corrective action” for someone who won’t be around?
Why anyone would persist in this is beyond me: three out of three co-workers who heard this story used the word “vindictive” so perhaps there’s something to it. A comment on the previous posting is far too charitable . . . . this isn’t just selective memory at work, it’s malice.
So much for my efforts to make the transition easier: rather than focus on the future, it’s considered a better use of their time to re-hash the past and mess up the present. My incentive to help them going forward is nil: if I stay, I run the risk of their discretionary power. If I leave, I lose income and benefits for my family.
