I love how when people are in the same boat as you, you have all their support. But the minute it turns around and becomes better for them, you're left alone.
My ex-boss and I were in a position in which we were both about to lose our jobs recently because my ex-big boss was becoming more and more power hungry. Well, she eventually got in trouble because there was nothing legal about what was happening. Still, one week later, I find myself without job because my ex-boss wouldn't stand up for me.
I wasn't happy there. I hadn't been since my ex-boss took my other ex-boss' position when she left. She was my rock there. We got along perfectly. But my ex-big boss drove her out too. Some of her last words were "It was nice while it lasted," referring to the business, and not her time here. I have to agree with her. My ex-big boss has very little experience in what she's doing, and the fact that she rules the place like a dictator doesn't make it much better.
What really kills me though, is that my ex-boss didn't say anything. Didn't fight, didn't suggest a different course, nothing. I know more secrets about that place than I wish, and I've kept them all. You would think that I at least deserve some...I don't know. The way I see it, he's just as bad as her for staying.
Before this, I was already looking for another job, secretly of course. My plan was to either keep both of them, or leave my ex-current job at a moments notice. Now, I just get to find a new one and not have to bother with leaving, I've already done that part.
And I know I sound bitter, but I'm not as bitter as I sound. No one likes leaving a job when they don't already have another. That's pretty much where the main bitterness lies. But aside from that, I'm happy. Who really wants to go down with the ship anyways?
