Please just get out and stay out and start the new job on Monday. Your former boss bites in more ways than one! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-93008 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 22:00:31 +0000 Tigger 93008@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>TERRI!!; I'm SO sorry I've been away from here w/school and haven't been informed on this most serious of issues of your's.Reading over the thread has got me wondering...WHY? Why,Terri,are you even debating this choice? Take the new job and don't look back.I know YOU'D be telling me the same thing if the inverse were happening.AB is right when she says change will be a little scary,but it will pass.Besides,what's scarier,ultimately? Pray to the Lord to send His Holy Spirit to guide you.You know as well as I that when we pray for anything,we MUST pray in Faith,trusting that He hears and will deliver on His promises to us.Please email me anytime you need to talk,Terri.<br /> May God continue to bless you and keep you. :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-92395 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 11:02:26 +0000 Instinct 92395@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OK, Terri, check in with us, huh?? Send up a flare or something </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-92370 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 09:52:54 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 92370@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I agree with AnnF. Take the new job and be happy for yourself! You deserve it.<br /> I worked for an agency where the son took the clients ccards and charge tickets for others and sold the tickets for more money, yada yada yada and<br /> I blew him in. He got fired, yeah right and they said he NEVER WOULD BE BACK.<br /> Well, guess what, no charges were ever brought, and he came BACK! I left.<br /> EOM ... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-92355 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 08:21:02 +0000 AnnF 92355@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Terri,</p> <p>Whether or not the "mental distress" is his way of getting out of charges or a genuine recognition that something is wrong, you do NOT owe this creep anything. Do what's right for you and get OUT of there.</p> <p>He might have gone over the edge and be mentally ill, but he is still a JERK. And being a JERK can't be cured overnight, even if he wanted to be cured.</p> <p>You have the escape hatch of the new job--use it, dear! </p> <p>He has never looked out for you and you have no reason to look out for him. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-92303 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:32:35 +0000 Emma 92303@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Dear Terri,</p> <p>Your former boss, the biter, is an incredible creep and is guilty of assault. Please get out of that office. It is a rotten and miserable place, and short of working in the sewers, I can't think of any more toxic atmosphere.</p> <p>More money means nothing when you have little respect for a group of people who have shown little or no respect for you. Please remember that money is a renewable resource. Nature hates a vacuum. </p> <p>Some workplaces are the La Brea Tarpits of Labor. Yours is one.</p> <p>Run, sweetie. I've got your back, several of us have whack-bonk sticks, and you deserve much better than you've gotten from this job.</p> <p>Much love,<br /> Emma </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-92253 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:16:01 +0000 Nirmal 92253@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OOOHHH ok thnks for the correction! Ok sorry then! correction...if you feel best at the new job, then go for it! I agree. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-92250 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 21:14:16 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 92250@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Patti, she has been at this job a while. She has an offer to start Monday at her new job. The episode happened at her current job as of this week. If she goes to the new job on Monday all will be well. The concern is if she stayed at the current job, where the attack took place. Seems like a no brainer to me! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-92129 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 20:22:21 +0000 Nirmal 92129@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>wow...tiger where the heck are you working????? that's interesting though! well, i'd say at least try to stay at ur job until you r accepted soemhwere else. you've just started and it may look bad on a resume f u leave jobs too fast. besides, the job may turn out in the end. but if u do find another, better job then by all means go for it if it makes you feel better! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-92054 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:47:32 +0000 GreatDane 92054@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Awwww, sorry, you haven't been well, Rainingwolf! Hope you're better now.<br /> We missed you and are happy to have you back!<br /> I had a nasty cold that turned into bronchitis - it's finally getting better after almost 6 weeks. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-92034 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 19:32:52 +0000 rainingwolf 92034@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi, GD! I've had pneumonia so have been off for awhile. Then got a staph infection in my lungs-common with people on ventilators. Nasty stuff. Good to be back! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-91913 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 18:38:36 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 91913@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Terri, you know I am most worried about the fact that this happened once, and an assult very out of character for an adult. He has been admitted to a mental health facility, that is a good thing. My problem is if you choose to stay, what's to say he would not come back to hurt you again, with more than a bite, maybe a gun or knife. My advice is to leave for the new job, get a fresh new start and put this chapter of your life behind you, and look forward to the new experience coming in your life. I wish the best for the tortured man, but not at the expense of my friend. Love Lynn </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-91896 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 18:32:11 +0000 artistabobbi TX 1/17 91896@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Terri, making a change like going to a new job is always scary. But within a couple of weeks - 10 days, think about it! - you will be a veteran.<br /> Please don't let that fear stop you. Step out of your comfort zone and go for it.<br /> We are behind you all the way, and will hold hands with you while you are taking that risk.<br /> You are too good a person to be subjected to the kind of abuse you have been enduring.<br /> Love you!<br /> Peace, hugs and purrs.<br /> Bobbi </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-91690 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 15:18:20 +0000 GreatDane 91690@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Rainingwolf! How are you - we don't see you much here these days! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-91688 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 15:16:22 +0000 rainingwolf 91688@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Instinct hit the nail on the head-God not only opened a window, he gave you a whole friggin' open air balcony! The new job sounds like the perfect fit, and let the old boss face what ever comes on his own. You deserve better than you have gotten at that job-time to move on and live in the sunshine! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-91675 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:56:45 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 91675@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Terri, I wholeheartedly agree with KittenWhisperer on the fact that the new job is probably where you should go. Why stay with a company where the owners undermine your authority and cause you more stress. If the job is closer to home, is either the same or more money and has managers that support your decisions, I would go to the new job. Are you going to go talk to a lawyer about filing charges and suing? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-91670 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:53:01 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 91670@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Gotta agree with everyone in front of me! Get thy butt moving to thy new job! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-91656 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:41:21 +0000 Instinct 91656@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>LOL :D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-91650 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:38:23 +0000 ailuromaniac 91650@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Just had a mental flash of a finger grafted to some fat backside. You guess which finger ;D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306/page/2#post-91634 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:26:43 +0000 Instinct 91634@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Cut finger. We had a chiropractor once try and get treatment for a back injury by attaching it to a cut finger </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91633 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:26:04 +0000 linda 91633@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I vote for taking the new job...change is always scary, but the shorter commute would be heaven, wouldn't it? And I'm going to guess, no weekends so that would be great...what does Therapy Cat (the King) recommend? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91631 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:25:29 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 91631@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Terri, new job, John home 6th Feb, new start to this phase of your life. :-) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91627 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:18:30 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 91627@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Terri, personal experience speaking here, I let a very high up person in the police department get away with 'sexual harrasment' towards me, because 'the department and he promised that it would never happen again' well long story short 2 years later I was fired and the harrasment had started again within 4 months of the initial promise. But since I wasn't serious enough to press the issue, the higher ups thought I was just crying wolf since he never did it when others were around...only when I was on mid-shift. Really think about what you will do if he starts again after he is 'cured' of his mental distress, the convience of this seems too familiar but its something you have to decide on. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91625 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:18:02 +0000 Leeny 91625@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>What's the 883.0 code, Instinct? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91624 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:17:07 +0000 Instinct 91624@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Suuure it is Eileen. They just throw it under the ol 883.0 code. Least that's what they would do to us when I worked workers comp :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91622 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:13:16 +0000 Leeny 91622@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'd like to see the hospital try to collect from boss's health insurance company. "Mental distress" isn't included in any diagnostic system with which I'm familiar, and most insurance companies (mine, anyway) require a specific diagnosis with a code from a known and accepted diagnostic manual. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91619 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:09:44 +0000 Instinct 91619@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Now, I'm not religious or anything (anyone who know me can vouch for that) but I always hear people say "When one door closes, God opens another one"</p> <p>Well, Terri, don't you think applying, interviewing, and landing this new job in record time is a hint?? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91616 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:05:31 +0000 TheKnittingNinja 91616@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I agree with everyone else, take the new job. Yours isn't a good place to be and you are being given a way out to something that will probably be better. Besides the people who you were covering for are now going to be the ones taking the heat :-) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91613 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:01:11 +0000 Buttercup 91613@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Terri,Take new job please. Boss going to the hospital for vague "mental distress" is no different than celebs going to rehab when they get caught doing something.It could be real but it's also a way to avoid responsibilty. The cops can't get at him until he's released either. Then he's out and you'd be in a worse postion I believe. You don't owe this company anything,you're not empowered there and what happens next time boss flips out?? IMHO </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3306#post-91611 Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:00:10 +0000 GreatDane 91611@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Bobsky does indeed, ppearson! </p>
