part 6
My boss is down and seems to be hesitant to want to talk with me. But she
sits down gives me a gloating look and says teasingly and i MEAN this
"it's
>a completely different staff....". So i know the rehash/ running joke is true.
>I say the wrong thing about laying all the cards on the table - my
>intention was to get her to be honest because i know people havent been and i dont really understand what happened. She sees my anti depresents on the table and leaves after we exchange some harsh words. She tells me she moved me to give me a chance, which i dont believe and aks why i talked about it in my new office - i didn't and the only person who knows this for sure is me, the students and the other teachers themselves but they havent directly
>admitted it, but since my old boss has already told me, I am reminded of his words "you've walked into two unfortunate situations....." . I tell the boss that i think it is sick if she is making what happened in the first office a joke. "i tell her, if you honestly think being given a choice between punching and having your crutch grabbed is funny..." and she goes yeah it's hysterical. Shortly after this she leaves.
>At the very least it is bullying because i am being told by (M) to use
>different stairwells to avoid running into the new chick.
>(S) rings me while i am having breakfast, to talk about the new tenant. The
>landlords name comes up in conversation and as i mentioned before, the landlord comes in with the tenant
speaking
>only japanese. I say "nice to meet you (finally)" in japanese" and she smiles uncomfortably. The next day she speaks english well enough
to handle the water bill payment and wish me a nice flight at the least.
(C) from (city name) also comes up to check on things while the tenant is there, she was supposed to pick me up the day i arrived and didn't.
>Something doesnt add up - the wild goose chase for the car 'but it was right in front of you' - neither of them were going to help me that day, (Ia) not coming to my birthday party and the fact he was laughing at me when i started arriving at 10.30 again. I honestly feel like they are finding excuses to get me into trouble and since they have influence with the boss, they can say whatever they want. No one ever sat down to tell me.
If i was being fired for bad teaching they never sat down and told me this. I know they invented a couple of complaints after the personality quiz becuase if frightened them i was talking about the email.
>Things were just nasty.
>The day I resigned (M) and (Na) took the new chick downstairs and told her everything about me and what happened in my old city, simply because they wanted to get in first . I can only tell
this
>from the fact that when the topic of movies (something happened with
the
>boys at the movies remember) came up later that day in the office she
gave
>me a sympathetic look and she actually texted (P) to check up on me.
>It's like the management is simply panicked about what i could say and
>trying to beat me to it instead of leaving it around. Little things
like
>saying 'i forget' seemed to make people react with a gulity
conscience.
>
>I have finally collected my last pay and am away from it, but it has
been a
>difficult seven months. But I am suspicious about a lot of things. I
am
>also angry that i wasnt at least given a chance to be moved away from
the
>fact everyone knew about the harrassment at the very least. Every time
i
>tried dealing with the bosses daughter she wasnt honest with me - i
put
>this down to her name being on the email.
>
>I am sorry it is such a long account, but to me little things dont add
up -
>being told i could only apply for 3 months of guitar lessons, not
putting
>the water bill in my name. The fact the staff were busy doing
something
>dodgy with the health insurance while i was off for being emotionally
>overwraught. It at the very least was simply a situation where i would not have been able to do anything right. My conversations with my old boss who even acknowledged when i rang to say goodbye "it would have been simpler if you'd gone back to (country name)......i gave you some bad advice last time you were down (which was golden week)".
>
>To me it feels a little planned - she wasn't harrassed, she was moved
to
>two offices and she still didnt work out. Well its a little difficult
when
>the other teachers have barely had a conversation with me and things
have
>been this hostile. Not all of this seems a coincidence - getting in
trouble
>for arriving 'late' when it is the same thing that happened to the
office
>staff. I was told it was ok. Which reminds me of another conversation i overheard between (Ia) and (M) when she had just taken over about the coffee fight and they both looked at me and gave a little startled reaction.
They have never spent time with me or included me to know if there IS or WAS any improvement. It was difficult when it was the bosses daughter i was having the problem with and she didnt want me making friends with anyone in the company. 7 months of this crap and i am still dwelling on things and a mess.
