tuesday evening, just minutes before the end of my work day and momenta before my date with the soldier, I received a call from my Vice President of Operations. I had never shared words with this woman before, however I knew who she was. not someone I wanted to be getting a call from. a couple things bothered me about the call. i'll try to keep it short...

she accused me of poor performance and poor attendance. saying I worked when I wanted to work instead of my schedule. while she had a point, I had been working my hours to the beat of my ability and had a conference with my support team about it. ( I had pneumonia months ago and have been sick ever since. sometimes I am unable to get out of bed because I can't breath. ive also had about thirteen court date in the last ten months which were out pf my control) I was upset about it because I was always there. yes I averaged three days off a month but...I also somehow managed to work overtime so.....

poor performance was another thing she brought up. i'll quickly explain my history with my co-manager.....he's a dick and its impossible to run a club with him. no exaggeration. I asked for help from my team and hardly got it. my boss even told me the guy was trying to sabotage my career since day one. how does anyone expect a club to run when the co-managers have no professional respect for each other? it really pissed me off when she said I used him as an excuse for my mistakes and when we had a temp person step in for him, the reason the club was improving was because that woman was doing my job. far from the truth.

I also found out that someone I had tried to help out (a goodfriends sister that needed a job and after months of thinking about it I took her on board) anyways this girl was younger but I trusted her. I knew she wasn't in the beat living g situation and so.I helped out when I could, buying g lunch or something g like that. well there was an issue with her check once and I fronted her 400$...I cashed her check, my bank never deposited it just withdrew the money, so had to get a new paycard from our company since the check was gone. girl said she never got it and tried to gt another from the company. well she did use it and lied and blah blah blah. well now im out that 400$. I feel like she took advantage of my kindness and I am extremely disappointed.

so they asked me to leave the company because of all those things. I refused to quit. they said it wasn't going to work that way and they wanted to cut ties friendly while leaving the doorstep open for me. I still wouldn't quit and said they would have to fire me with severance pay and also pay my unemployment. well they agreed. so I am no longer with that company. I don't understand why they've already offered me the next club to open in the area, I doubt I will accept. I am collecting my unemployment and looking at. y options for filing harassment charges on the other manager and perhaps some other lawyer business. of course if I am legit thinking g about that, there's a ton ive left out over. the course of my ten months with this place. and as far as that girl...it is my beat friends sister but I really don't think I can look at her.

sorry that was a long rant...the good thing to come from this was I refused to give up, I stuck it out I held onto my pride. I may have been fired but I was ask offered another job with them. its sketchy. but the stress in my life has been brought down significantly. im taking the rest of the month off to just breath and enjoy no responsibilities.

also, can I just say the club is going to fall apart without me. ive already gotten calls from staff AND members upset of my absence. and its been a day. two now. I am hoping they see how much of an asset I was for that club. three of my staff members have already quit themselves because they don't want to work with that other manager. its sad...but...I truly hope success for that club. it was my baby.

Thats insane! If they wanted you gone so bad why would they offer you another position with the next club??? But overall its a crappy situation and I'm sorry about that! I hope that you can find something else you can enjoy :)

That's what i don't get either. Why offer you a job at another club if they wanted you gone? Maybe a specific person wanted you gone and pushed it...that would make sense...that they want you in the company, just not at that club.
Hmmm..Idk! I would be angry! But, I'm glad you're taking time to relax and breathe...sounds like you need it! Plus, more time to get to know the new soldier ;)

and my birthday is in eight days so, gonna celebrate with everyone I can!

and yes the gm wanted me out of the club since I started. he was a mean two face pos. there are people I don't get along with but he and I could not communicate and it really hurt our club. I was on my own mission of transferring to another club myself or getting hit out of there. but he was best buds with the vice prez of sales who didn't like me either. politics. they had more power over me so they ultimately won as they see it. though the company may really see how much the club struggles without me there. and to be honest I win too, I didn't quit. I will still get some compensation. and yup I will be able to afford time off to relax and catch up on personal things. before I start a new chapter in my eventful life.

Wow Jamie. I'm really sorry they've put you through that.

It's odd to me that they fired you and offered you another position. If they had a personality conflict but liked you it seems odd they wouldn't just transfer you?? Weird...

When one door closes another opens, I wish you all of the best with whatever you decide to take on from here!

i'm still getting phone calls and texts all day from my old staff members asking me what happened and begging for me to come back; nice to know someone misses me.

infact i am meeting an old co-worker now for lunch...

about that gil, apparently she was fired yesterday as well. i've been trying to get a hold of her to talk it out. she thinks i've blamed her for myself being let go. and she sent me one message saying "thanks jamie just because you were a horibble om you had to get me fired too" i had nothing to do with her being fired and i don't blame her either. i wish she would grow up and talk to me about it because being mad at me will not work. her house is my second home. really my first because i am there more than my own place. we'll see what happens....
