Just.... wow...

On Tuesday, I went to the office, that I have worked in for 9 years, for the last time.  

There were packing crates and boxes everywhere, and it was a bit of a struggle to find a place to sit to sort my  paperwork.

That afternoon, we got a system wide email that our CEO  (who had just emailed us about 10 days before about some "scandalous, incorrect rumor" that he was leaving) is leaving.  Effective immediately.

I was able to confirm that he was forced out by the board of directors.

There was another rumor, last year, about misappropriation of funds.  Maybe that was true, too, and is coming to a head soon.

Anyway, the next day was uneventful, but then on Thursday, my department had a zoom meeting.  I figured it would be about the new building and what was going to happen with that, since most of us have heard NOTHING about it in months.

Well, as it turned out, that wasn't the topic at all.

The entire business office management team, both in OKC and in Tulsa, is resigning.

We are being left with NO management, RIGHT as we are moving to a new building, during the worst covid surge to date  (current numbers:  301 new cases per 100K, positive test rate 45.5%)

The situation behind this announcement was much clearer, however.  

They are all leaving on the same day, and one of them admitted to us that they are all going to the same place.

This harkens back to October when that bitch, Angie, left to go to work for our local competitor.

She is now taking all of her favorites with her...including someone at my level of the company who she has always liked, and who does very little actual work.

This has also all been confirmed... and Angie, being who she is,  made SURE to make this happen at the worst possible time for those of us whom she does NOT like.

There will be a very special place in hell for her, AND for those who are rushing to make more money at her new company, abandoning us all at once like this.

SO-- that's that.  At least all of the people who have been trying to get me to quit all these years will be gone, and no one that's left will know anything about that.  Maybe I can finally make some headway.

IF, that is, the company doesn't utterly collapse now.

The board is meeting this coming week to discuss making Angie's former assistant the CEO, and our IT guy the COO. Should be interesting.

As for the business office?  We are in limbo. I am guessing that the person they call the trainer will be made out manager.  

Gods help us.

In some ways, I am ecstatically happy, in others, I am severely angry.  I mean... how DARE they do this to us?  Can you imagine being that greedy?

I sure can't.

But... Okies will be Okies...and this fits the profile.  I'm sorry, but it's true. Time and time again, I have seen it.

That myth that Oklahomans always go out of their way to help others is absolute crap.

Yesterday, I drove to the new building, which is 25 miles away, and got myself a route, so that I can stop worrying about that.

I will go to the new building tomorrow, like usual, to pick up and drop off paperwork.  My soon to be ex boss called me Friday and asked if I wouldn't mind staying to unpack my desk.  There will only be one other person there, so I said yes.

Anyway, last weekend's zoom yoga therapy appointment was canceled.  This has happened about 5 times since November, either by me, or by the therapist. 

It's been rescheduled for 10 this morning, but I never got a confirmation from her about that.  

That being said, I am off to take my shower.  

Have a good week, and please keep me and my co workers in your positive thoughts.  We have a rough time ahead.
