Persona Non Grata
The H.R. woman from another West Coast office arrived this morning - here to do three interviews, trying to replace me. Because I'm leaving.
People will barely look me in the eye, let alone talk to me.
Except Speedy, who asked me to follow up on a Notice of Dismissal for a case. A case not on his client list. I told him that, and his response was "Well, I think you filed it." That's nice. I don't. I politely asked him for a little more information, since the name didn't ring a bell and wasn't on his case list. Speedy stared at me and then walked into his office and closed the door.
And they wonder why I don't like working here and don't think I'll do well?
I'm glad today is my last day here - if I had to spend more time in this environment, with everyone all awkward towards me, I'd crack. I think the only way this could be more uncomfortable is if I'd announced that I have a herpes outbreak, and it'd be best if nobody comes near me.
Right now the H.R. chick is in Speedy's office, discussing the first of the three potential replacements who's come for an interview today.

Congrats on getting out of there. And for knowing yourself well enough not to stay in a bad situation. Good luck on the new job!
Did they do an exit interview? And did you give them some reasons? It probably won't do any good anyway, but sometimes it does. Can't hurt.
But congrats on getting out of there and good luck with the new job.
