Time For Me To Fly (Part 3.5)
Well, the wait is partially over. My immediate supervisor knows.
I had to tell her yesterday, but have not submitted the written resignation. She was beginning to task me with projects for August and I had to stop her and close the dooor.
Two hours I was in there like that.
She got upset, but mostly with the fact that she isn’t getting out of there also. She got teary-eyed telling me how the executive director has jerked her around, made promises to her about promotions and didn’t keep them. She even told me the “plan” was to make me a supervisor of a couple staff, beginnng in August. But, the executive director came in on a Monday and decided he wanted to wait until January. [Keep in mind this involves ANOTHER reorganization. That would be 9 since I was hired in 2000.]
I just told her that I wasn’t putting up with his crap anymore. I also told her she has a ton of skills and talents that could get her a reasonable position, if she would just do it. She has to take the initiative to make a plan and a backup.
She should be an event coordinator.

Telling the immediate supervisor is the hardest part, I think. Although, in my case, I relished it.
Also, I’m glad to see that the character assasination is an across-the-board thing. I found out after I left my job that I was blamed for all kinds of stuff. I actually called the President of the company and explained to him that I was in no way responsible for the things that were falling apart in my absence, even explaining to him how I had protected against that very scenario. The problem becomes, the incompetent people you worked with are still incompetent when you’re gone.
