*breathing a little easier*

So I turned in my resignation last Friday. I have accepted a position at a different company doing much the same as I do now. However, more hours about the same pay/hr but in the long run more money.......and promise of opening my own office in the spring/summer.

My direct manager was very sad. She and I have a great relationship.....if only friendships could pay the bills........

Anyways, she doesn't want me to leave but understands completely....and if she had something lined up she would leave too. Our regional manager realllllly doesn't want me to leave. and evidently neither did our president.

So on Monday this past week I was called to the main office to meet with the president and my regional manager. The boss proceeded to in short interigate me as to why I would want to leave.....lol.....

I was very professional and had an answer for all his questions/statements. He couldn't wrap his head around that I came in at one rate of pay and the company paying my insurance, then a few months later they switched insurances and decided they wouldn't pay for it .....cut one......then a week or two later they cut our hours back to four days a week.....cut two......

When I came in I asked that they pay my insurance because the rate I was coming in at was barely enough .......so what makes him think that with cutting my pay by an average of five hundred a month I would be able to make it????

So he said, well I could give you your hours back. He said this after he said, we cut hours so we wouldn't have to lay people off.....Side note, every month for the last six months they have laid off at least two people....I don't know how we have anyone left.....anyway,

I looked at him and asked, I get full hours at the expense of someone lossing their job?, he said yes. I said No Thanks. Besides, just the hours back still won't cover it. The company is no longer paying my insurance and I still cannot make it.

He was sorta pissed by now. No one in our company ever stands up to the big guys. Sadly I don't back down. Especially when I know I am right.

So being done with me, he said I could work my two weeks and leave.

From what I heard when I got back to my office, after I left his office, he proceeded to yell at my regional manager.......I have no idea what that was all about.

I am glad to say, I have one week left. It will be sad to leave the people I have worked with and some of my agents, but I might be able to take them with me......if I do it carefully.

I'm a little nervous about starting my new job....but the boss over there is more than excited. He told me that I could start right away. They were sorta hoping I would have had my meeting with the big guy and he would let me go that day......they wanted me to start then.

Oh yeah, I forgot, the big guy said to me at one point.......so how long do we have? I said I gave my two weeks, unless I don't get paid holiday pay. He said why wouldn't you? I said......thats part of feeling insecure here, I have seen what happens to people who leave......he then said, I could make today your last day. I smiled and said I know. I wasn't sure what todays meeting would bring......it is your choice wheather I stay or go.....but if I don't get my holiday pay......today can be my last day and I will start the other office.

hmmmmmm maybe that was what pissed him off.......I really think its because I didn't let him scare me or back down. and I certainly never at one time tell him anything he said was right.

I feel good.
