Today is the day.

My husbands resignation is nothing short of beautiful. It's written with such eloquence. It's better than anything I could have come up with. Mine would have been strewn with expletives and accusations. That's not my guys style. He's going out with dignity and grace. I on the other hand have enough anger for the both of us. Everyone keeps telling him how great a boss he is and how great he's done. That just makes me more angry. It all comes down to politics. I have my own theories, but it really doesn't matter now does it. 2 of his bosses have told him that he can use them for a reference! I just think this is so unfair. I can't do anything to help. I just have to stand back watch it all go down.

Yesterday one of his bosses came to him and said he'd heard that the reason he didn't submit his resignation sooner was because he was concerned he wouldn't get unemployment benefits. CCB confirmed that was true. The boss had the nerve to say,"why didn't you come talk to me? I've been assured there will be no effort to block your benefits." HUH? Why would we trust you? Why would we confide in you when you just pulled the rug out from under us? I just don't think they get it.

CCB has been contacted by some employers this week. So far they all require a move at some point. Some with comparable pay. Some not. I really didn't want to make my daughter change schools again. I didn't want that for my family. In case you hadn't figured out. I'm the sorta girl who just wants to be settled. I don't enjoy drama. I don't enjoy upheaval. I thought we'd found it. I really thought that this company was the last company CCB would work for. I had lots of hopes and dreams pinned on them. All for nothing. They aren't what they say they are. I think that is part of why this stings so bad. I believed in them and what they say they stand for. I feel duped. They just use you up and spit you out like everyone else.

I know we will be OK in the end. I KNOW it. It's just getting there that may get hairy.

I know how you feel about being the one who is angry and wants to bust some knee caps while you have to stand there and let your husband take care of it.

Hopefully your husband can find a job soon and maybe you'll luck out and not have to move! I understand not wanting to move... ugh it's such a pain.

Take care! And try not to bust anyone's head open. :)
