For lack of anything to watch on TV tonight, DH turned on that Undercover Boss show.  I was working at the computer and only half listening.  However, I did come to the conclusion that if someone had done that at one of places where I worked for a very short time I might still be working there.

     This office made you dread having to go to work.  I stayed only a couple of months.  I couldn’t take the vicious backbiting and stress it caused.  When I left there, I felt a great sense of relief.  How I left there was inspired.  I’d had a particularly bad day of dealing with malicious coworkers and impulsively called the human resources department. 

     “How do I quit this job?  Do you want two weeks notice or what?”  I asked.

     They tried to persuade me to stay but I’d had it.  They even offered to transfer me to another location.  I still wasn’t interested.  They finally told me that since I was only part time I could leave straight away.  I told them I’d finish out the day but that would be it.

     Before I left that day, I typed a letter to my boss explaining why I decided this was not the place for me and left it on his desk—he was never one to be found in his office.  In the letter, I told him it was no wonder that they had such a huge turn over in help.  They needed to clean out their snake pit if they wanted anyone to stay more than a month or two.
