Termination

Posted by: poodlegoose on: 22 July, 2009

What’s that you ask? Why have you been so cryptic lately? Why have I been completely stressed and hating my job?

I can now finally tell you all.

I was terminated from my job. My job as a children’s ministry coordinator. Apparently, I don’t have “what it takes” and I am a “square peg trying to fit in a round hole” and I am not enough of a “self-starter.” I don’t “follow-up” according to vague standards that they did not make clear, and I was held accountable for things that were never shared with me. Essentially, I did not let them take charge and run me over as was the practice before, and they wanted me gone. They could either fire the entire board or me. Guess I was the loser.

I was given 2 days to clear out of the office. And what’s that? You found a way to get out of paying unemployment? Great.

Let me just say: I hope I never work in a Christian organization again. The politics are too much for me to handle. And I will not expand lest most of you believe that Christians are all bad. Which we’re not. We just like to use God and faulty theology as our excuses for everything, because apparently, we all hear God’s clear, audible voice when we try to plan out other people’s lives for them. Oh, wait. That’s bad? Whoops.

Ok, ok. I’m sorry. Now, I’m done.

And that is that.

Anyone hear about any job openings in South Carolina? No? Crap.

This SUCKS. I’m so sorry. It’s amazing how many organizations will fire very competent people due to ridiculous internal politics.

I’m so sorry! I know everyone says this when this happens, but it’s a blessing in disguise! And I feel like I’m going to get fired from my job any day now, so I know how you feel.

Oh gosh– major suckage. I hope you find something soon.

Oh, no. I am so sorry to hear this. Grrrrr. It’s probably cold comfort at this point, but in my experience, things like this usually end up being for the best. I’ll pray that something much, much better comes along.

about me

I am poodlegoose. I am a bit quirky, a bit of a tomboy turned girl. I am a music junkie, I read too much, I play on my DS too much, and I watch way too much tv on DVD. I would love to be a violinist/violist in a chamber orchestra and play my pretty little heart out. I am also extremely optimistic, I love being happy, and I love Sour Patch Kids until my tongue burns. I also love singing, I am extremely clumsy, I am allergic to metal, and I don’t do well in living up to other people’s expectations. Ok, that’s enough for now. Anything else, check out my "about me" page. That'll be enough. . . and then some.
