I lost my job today.
Basically, they want me to work full time and I don’t want to. For a number of reasons it’s not right for me/us and I won’t take any criticism on that.
They won’t consider a job share and they don’t have to legally since I have neither children nor elderly relatives to care for. My job is being ‘expanded’ into Financial Controller and I am probably not qualified to do all that role.
I’m not angry. I didn’t cry. I sort of feel nothing over it. I’m not heartbroken as I didn’t love the job. I am worried about paying the mortgage and that’s it, really.
Legally I think they’ve done what they had to do. I really don’t think there’s anything I can do and as such, I have a week’s notice starting from today, and I won’t get any redundancy pay as I haven’t been there for two years. I think that’s the suckiest part.
Dear universe, could you stop kicking a girl when she’s down, please?
