Even I didn't think they could sink so low...

Loveliness is reigning at work. Certain management has decided to make false assumptions about the process I used to go about gaining support for my schooling. When they made those false assumptions, they halted the process of my paperwork and sent me a nasty-gram. Those assumptions cannot be corrected by the management that has the proof that they are false until they work on the same day again. That same day is exactly 4 days before what is supposed to be the start of classes. I very nearly broke my rule and burst into tears in front of all my coworkers as I read that. The shock of the nasty-gram was that intense. So much for Christmas cheer.

Internets - I don't know if going back to school is going to happen. Do they realize they're messing with someone's LIFE here?

Oh my goodness. Who do I need to go beat up? This is so ridiculous! I am simply furious! I shall call in some anonymous complaints.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Michelle said...

OMG I am with Jen on this one. How horrible!

Kara said...

You have got to be kidding? I am so sorry to hear this.

I have a background in HR - so if there is anything I can do to help with this - seriously, please let me know.

Hang in there and stay strong= ok?

To whose attention do I make my strongly worded letter out to??

This is going too far... when is your management going to realize these people have it in for you for reasons other than your performance, which is outstanding?

Absolutely absurd... I will boycott them, as well as everyone I know...

Steph said...

What!?
I really hope they get it together and you can start. Would you have to wait all the way until the next semester? or is this at all?

Do I need to bust someone's knee caps?

Barb said...

Hey girls - not going this semester would mean I would have to re-register to take my GREs as they expire this Spring. They're expensive and difficult so I don't know if that would happen. I would also have to re-submit my application.. incurring another fee, in addition to at this point, incurring the add/drop fee. So I don't know if I would be able to go next semester.

Thanks for your input everyone!

Oh, Barb. I am so sorry.

Stay strong - I know you will come out on top!
