Thurdsday.
Hello my dear friends of Read.Cash!! Glad to be here one more day sharing and growing with you all.
These are my wounderful sponsosrs, check them out!Today is one of those days where I find myself thinking far back at my life and my choises and althought I'm not perfect, far from it, I know that most of the things I've done, have been out of love, commitment, ethics, principles, and respect for others as well. But for some people this is not true, in fact, I'm ungrateful as they come, and here is why...
When I left my old job, one of the things I made clear to them was that I wasn't gonna leave them hanging, that I was going to help them until they found someone to fulfill the position that I was leaving at the time. There was talk about more money, a bonus, a payment during the time I would be doing the job, and I refuse them all for two basic reasons:
There's no legal reason to do it, my contract was very clear and accepting a extra payment just to stay is not right.
My problem wasn't the money, it never was about the money. Even at 16 dollars a month, I didn't leave because of that.
The President accepted my help and agreed that giving me more money wasn't the solution, and since we are friends, we have been communicating a lot since my resignation. She was on the dark about most things regarding the Foundation because I was there and because she trust's me, but now she is putting her face out to the authorities and taking control of the situation, as she should have since the begining.
The other one, the hag (I have to stop calling her that), she viewed my offer to help as a way to keep controlling me and manipulating me and pressuring me. She believed that my offer meant that I was still a employee of the Foundation and that I was under her command. WRONG!
As I was explaining to her, three times, that my offer didn't implied that I was still an employee and for that matter, that she was still my boss, she kept getting very aggressive, so I walked away and decided to only communicate with the President, at the end, as the legal representative of the Foundation, she has to know everything and she doesn't have to keep asking for permission to even pick up a phone and call anyone. This made the other one more angry and then started to send me messages through the President, and even, started to put pressure on her as she did with me.
One of the things that made me more curious about her behaviour was the fact that she is insisting on hiring more workers but not an administrator, workers to do gardening and stuff because the ones that they have where not hired for that, even if they're not doing their jobs neither.
So, what's the priority: hire people to cut grass, or hire people to manage payroll and staff, pay the bills, the benefits to the workers, submits the requests for budgets and such?
The President of course is against this and they have been fighting over this since the day I resigned. The other thing is that she has been trying to find something to make me look bad in front of the authorities, and had said that I'm an ungratefull person and always have been, because they sheltered me and gave me work when I wasn't even qualified to assume such a position. I laughed, hard, and still do, because not only is that far from the truth, I laugh because if anyone has been ungratefull towards anyone has been her, but is just as the good old book says:
Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?
Matthew 7:3
I hope that everything resolves well and for the benefit of everyone, and I also hope that time gives me the opportunitie to confront her, respectfully of course, and say to her face, that she is the main reason why I had to leave and to thank her for it. Thank's to her I realised that I was wasting my life in a place that I love but that was killing me and where I was alone, pumping blood to it, for the benefit of others. I want to thank her because for the first time in many many years, I can think of myself and my family and make decisions for us without feeling guilty about what may happen to the Foundation and all of it's people. This opened my eyes, and she is the main reason for it, funny how things work out, huh?
Before I leave, I'll share with you a short video we made on July 31, a group of musicians, the President and me, cleaning the premises. It's a blooper reel because cutting grass isn't our forte and we totally made a fool of ourselves, but, it comes to show the lenght of my commitment towards them.
That day my blood pressure was very low, 78/60, and the one who tagged me as an ungrateful person, was not there...
If you want to know more about my old job, here are the other articles where I talk about this:

For me, and for many of the after effects such as you mentioned, I have always had one simple rule. I leave them hanging. All of them? Why? Because most often companies (or let's just say employers) will not offer similar "transitional" accommodation to the employee as they would expect or appreciate receiving. When the company decides you are no longer useful to them, they just quickly pull the plug without a care in the world what effect that has on you and your livelihood.
And for that reason I offer the same in return. When I decide to leave, that is it. Just like I would have to be if they make that decision for me, when I make it for them they are on their own. The fact that I come to such a decision is a clear sign for me that they did not earn the privilege of my giving a damn. lol
Some might call that being ungrateful. I call it being fair.
