Sounds like you are better off out of there. I pray that you will get something great soon- often these things happen to allow another opportunity to fall into your lap.

It sounds like an opening and not a closing. Since you weren't happy there maybe they did you a favor. Now you can find a job that that will suit you w/great co-workers. Something much better is on the horizon.

I know it's hard to see right now but this really can be a good thing. Getting fired was a pivotal step in my career growth about 20 years ago. It's going to be ok. Hugs. This was true for my DH too. The worst part for him was that he was fired for a fabricated reason. He could have fought it, but why? Who wants to work with jerks like that? He had a different, higher paying job three days later which ultimately led to owning his first business. I've learned to have faith that when something like this happens something better is waiting in the wings.

I'm sorry. It sounds like that job wasn't a good fit for you. I hope that something opens up for you that is a good fit where you're respected.

Sorry to hear about the job, but I predict you'll find something you enjoy better. As for the co-worker, just smile when you remember that she'll be showing her butt before long. She'll now have to actually do the work and is going to look pretty bad when she has no one to fall back on.

Thanks everyone!!! I see what a snake that co-worker is now..... she has posted a few things about getting trash out of her life and obviously referring to me (a friend saw it and told me). I won't fall to her level and leave it alone cause it's not worth it and I have better things to do then worry about her.... So off to go paint a bedroom and look for a job!!

Slowly but surely things have leaked out and it does seem like there is some favorites going around at the school and obviously she is one of them. And obviously a lot of people know that and have really hinted to me about it. Oh well... the ones that care have contacted me and wish me the best.. that's all that matters.

Well, I hope what happens to her is what happened to a person that kept throwing ME under the bus. I didn't get fired, I got another job and was MUCH better.
This was my second job and Denise told the boss that I made a lot of mistakes so my 3 month evaluation was terrible. He told me that he couldn't believe that my former boss (at my first job, I moved to another state) rated me so highly and said hire her if you can get her. That I was doing barely adequate work and barely gave me a raise. I was very young (started my first job at 19 and was there 3 years) and very unsure of myself so I believed the garbage and wondered why at my first job, they said I was so accurate. And I was working with real B's in the computer department and believe me, if I'd been doing bad work, they'd have told me in a heart beat.
Shortly thereafter, Denise was out sick a few days and the person I replaced came in to help. She had transferred to another department because she couldn't stand Denise and her games. She told me that I wasn't making ANY mistakes and assured me that she'd already figured out that I was doing my job and half of Denise's. Denise was telling me that to keep me in line so that I wouldn't get promoted above her.
That Denise was the one that made a lot of mistakes. I already knew that Denise came in at 10 am, took an hour and a half for lunch and left early. I was NOT allowed to leave until she came back and I'd be starving by the time I finally got to go to lunch so late. After the other lady bolstered my confidence, I went to lunch exactly an hour after Denise left for lunch and was prepared to say that I'm not going late because someone else can't get back in time but it was never brought up. Went and found another job using my first job as reference.
Long story shorter, they gave me a high school girl that was graduating in a week or so to train, she was coming in around 2 pm and working to 5 pm. I was laughing my head off because that poor little girl would not be able to handle it. I felt bad for the girl because of how I knew Denise would treat her.
I found out later that when the next boss over MY boss heard that I gave notice, she said that is the LAST person Denise chases out of here. When the high school girl couldn't keep up, next boss up called Denise in, said you will start coming in at 8 am, not leave before 5 and only ONE hour for lunch. Denise said that she would going to have to have a raise or else if that was the case. Big boss said, then I'm assuming you're giving your two weeks notice as of now because you're not getting a raise. Sad that I had to quit to make a difference.
I'm just hoping that sooner or later, they'll figure out that the problem is NOT the new hires, it is the idiot that has been there. Even if they won't fire her, sooner or later, the higher ups will transfer to another school, retire or something and the new people will get rid of her. I sure wish your friend that is FB friends with her would post a snarkey message indicating that your former co-worker is the real trash...
I hope like me, that you find something MUCH better!

Absolutely unbelievable. Who posts stuff like that? ? I hope you find exactly what you want, only better than before. I am disgusted with people like your co-worker. I work with some awful people (not that you are!!!) but I would NEVER EVER EVER post on social media how happy I was about them being out of my life. Disgusting.

Awww.....so sorry to hear this, even though it sounds like you are better off. Office politics really bite. I worked with a woman who was a total pita, but my boss hated confrontation (still does but that's another story) and let so much slide with this person. Very frustrating for the ones who carried her. Boss had very high expectations of us and none when it came to the bad employee. Well, after almost ten years, bad employee finally got caught in a lie about a co-worker, she was very jealous, and got escorted out of our workplace. Boss finally got mad and wanted her fired, but unfortunately she was given another chance and works now at a different location. But we don't have to deal with her anymore, and we know for a fact that her work life is MUCH more difficult now. So what goes around comes around eventually.
Good luck, keep your chin up, there's hoping that something good is just around the corner. Hugs.....

The best revenge is a well-lived life. Don't waste any more time on her and start fresh. Find a better job that's a better fit for you and enjoy it. Good luck!! Jen
