Getting Canned at Exit Interview

[CseMgr1]

I had heard that a former co-worker of mine had turned in her resignation effective November 10th. So, I paid her a visit this morning, to find out what was going on. She told me that she was basically burned out, between the stress at work and the four hours of commute time she has to put in every day. I reminded her not to leave until she had given me her e-mail address and without telling me goodbye, for she was a very sweet lady. That was at 8:30 AM. At 12:00, another nurse stopped to tell me my friend had been told by HR to leave during her exit inteview which had taken place later this morning. I hurried over to her area...and she was gone. I couldn't believe it.

I don't know what happened, but I am going to try and get her e-mail address from another co-worker. Will keep you posted.

She sent us an e-mail this afternoon and said she had no idea why she was given the "bum's rush". But, it was meant to happen, as she was interviewed AND hired for a teaching position at a local community college today...and it's located only 15 minutes from where she lives (beats the socks off the two-hour one-way commute she was doing every day). "God is good to me", she proclaimed.

Amen to that!

That IS good news indeed !!! So happy to hear where one door was shut, another was opened for her !

Thank you for the good report ! :)

Yeah the old 'you can't quit you're fired' vindictive game. GRRR.

The Director of a Home Health Agency I used to work for several years ago tried to pull the same s*** on me, after I had turned in my two weeks notice. I didn't find this out until after I had left, but she had e-mailed my Manager, demanding to know why I was still there. If she hadn't intervened, I would have gotten the 'Bum's Rush" too. She wanted me off the payroll...just as my present employer wanted M. gone.

And they wonder why people don't give a flying damn about loyalty, anymore
