Well as I left off in my last post, I was heading back to my previous job at the casino in the sales department. The funny part was, that although I was getting burnt out with this position and eventually left to try new things, I was so very happy to be back. I quickly learned that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. I was happy to be back and ready to face all of my former challenges.
On the night before my first day back, I treated myself to a trip to the salon for a overdue hair overhaul. I then picked out a favorite outfit, and went to sleep early eager to start my day. I arrived at work bright and early and proceeded to the HR department to get all of my necessary paperwork. It was so nice to see familiar faces. It was also nice to see my former co-workers, who were much more welcoming that the previous employer.
Over the next hour, many events took place that would leave my head spinning and leave me unemployed (with nothing on the back burner) for the first time in my professional working career. I was terrified!
SO, let me try to get this straight. you were offered your casino job back, you go there Day 1, and they fire you?
ReplyDeleteYes that was how it played out. The CEO decided to make an example of me during a staff meeting. Said that working there was a privilege and I lost that privilege when I quit. It was explained that I was asked to come back by a supervisor and that my position had not been filled. His answer to that was to immediately eliminate my position so it was no longer available. Although my new job was not the best scenario, I certainly would not have quit unless I was 100% certain my old job was a go.
