"I was 'Fired' (which i come to find out, I was 'Let go' because I 'wasn't a right fit'.....ELLS, fuck yourselves......yeah, still kinda pissed....) last week from the CPA firm I not only worked at for approx. 7 months but most importantly, worked through double (yes, DOUBLE!!!) duty for tax in the first time in my life! I will be the first to admit that I knew it was going to be hard and stressful yet I actually was optimistic for awhile and it actually didn't turn out to be as bad as I thought it would be (but PLEASE don't get me wrong! It was still HELL!) Like I mentioned before, in truth, it's actually a cool thing that I was "Fired/Let go" b/c it just clarified that 1- I am TRULY not appreciated in any fucking position! and 2- It was just time to do what I planned on doing in about 2 years, which is to start taking over my father's business, now....Yes, the actual "tax season" is over yet there's still SO much to do! AND thanks to the fuckers who didn't appreciate my service (which, by the way, I had that shit to a science there!), I now know how to get everything in order & organized and just how to run a business to make things SO much simpler on not only myself but for my father for the last few years that he will be doing it......
So what's my problem, you ask? I mean, I'm getting unemployment, got severance pay AND all my "vacay" time (BTW-- 1st time since the age of 18 that I am OFFICIALLY debt-free!), have insurance til the end of the month YET my father and I are going to go get me self-employment insurance/reimbursement plan in the next week or so........It's good. But. Here's my beef......I truly busted my ass, as the "receptionist" (you know, 'just answering a phone!'), would stay approx. 10-12 hrs. EACH day, even stayed there once til 1:30 IN THE FUCKING MORNING to help the others out! Didn't have to but I did it to show my loyalty and my hard work for the firm. Then, I would go home and help my mother with appts. and scheduling for my father, sorting and other lil admin shit that needed to be done at the house and then go back and do the same thing for 3 months!!! I basically worked 6 1/2 days (I would drive my dad around on Saturdays for about 12-14 hrs. in the I.E. to go to people's house & then help my dad half of the day on Sundays) and about 12-16 hrs. a day..........and what do I get in return?? 'Thanks but no thanks' from the people who are as useless as they come! I just didn't like being disrespected, insulted and basically verbally slapped across the face and that's EXACTLY what happened. The best thing was the guy (who's daughter I went to school with!), who has been there the longest out of anyone and let me go, couldn't even look me in the eye when he was informing me on my new "employment status" in life! I'm sorry but if that's not a pussy, I don't know what is! There's been some people from there that I have spoken with and they have said the moral of the office has just dropped! I don't want to say it's just me since they let others go as well yet out of respect, couldn't they have informed me that this was going to be a seasonal position instead of surprising me to the point of almost throwing up on the guy's desk!?
Basically, like I mentioned above, they have not only fucked themselves (by the end of this year, they'll have a WHOLE new staff since the girls who have been there the longest are leaving on either maternity leave or nursing school) and won't know which way is up but they have done me a service to not only get everything in order for me & my father's business but it just further shows the lack of common sense and mentality that runs through most of the nation (possibly the world) these days....."
That was over a year ago and to this day, I still feel the same towards them. I actually saw that one of our clients goes through them for some kind of tax item that a woman specialized in there and even though the woman at that firm is a nice, I nearly shit when I saw their letterhead! I seriously can't stand the thought of or even want to drive down that part of the street where the firm is located!
I guess its the simple fact that have I been burned WAY too many times in the 26 years I've been on this Earth and I'm sick of it! I don't hang out or really talk to people who have disrespected me and I'm finally at a job where I am appreciated. It's weird how certain things stick in your mind. There are a few things I remember so vividly about that day:
-The way I became clammy, nauseated and pale while I was being informed
- How when I got home and I vented for a straight 30 mins. to my father about how much I hope we would be able to see one day that the firm has collapsed and failed. (Oh & the pure cursing that came out of my mouth! )
-The reaction to the woman from unemployment when I told her I "wasn't a right fit" after 7 months (She was stunned!)
But I must say, the thing I remembered most about that day is that I knew what I wanted to do in life and what I wanted out of it. It was a truly weird feeling but I knew that's what it was. Thought I will say that the main regret I have from that day is that I never did throw up on the partner's desk. That's the only thing that I wished I really did.....
