I know I need to just let this go, but it really bothers me for some reason.
Our little town has had an awesome video rental place for years. 20 years, in fact. It has been here since we moved to town. And for the last 5 years (possibly 6) DD#1 has worked there. For the last 3 years, she has been the manager. She sets the schedule, does the payroll, deals with the out of town owners (the original owner sold it two years ago), all of that. And does it well.
The owner got sick, and decided to liquidate a lot of his businesses. The video rental here included. DD has made her peace with it, and is job hunting. Our little town is sad to see this place close. But they weren't making any money, so it was totally time.
On to my vent - there was a girl that worked there, but once she went away to school, DD would only schedule her once in a while during holidays or the summer. But she was always saying she would be looking for full time summer employment. They had been running on only 3 employees for a long time anyway. This girl hasn't worked a shift since the Christmas break.
It never crossed DD's mind to officially tell her.
Her mother posted on Facebook last night "I found out today that XYZ Video closed their doors last week. End of an era, too bad no one thought to tell K before I told her today that she does not have a job this summer!
"
Really?
If that isn't a direct dig at my kid, I don't know what is. How she could not know until yesterday that it had closed is beyond me. It is on the main street - the for rent sign has been up in the window for ages. It was announced on our local radio station, and a photo of the lovely closing letter DD put on the window has been circulating all the local facebook groups for weeks (that I know she belongs to). I mean really, we are Facebook friends, the only reason I see for that kind of message is that she's calling out DD publicly. Just pisses me off.
DD isn't bothered by it, but I am. I'll let it go. Just needed to vent about it!
