Congrats on your job change. Sometimes we have to move out to move up and coming back can be a good thing, especially if the reasons why you left have been resolved. It all works out for a reason.

@Cindy, isn’t vomit-y a real word? I use it all the time…

I’m just so excited for you to be getting out of there. I used to have a boss like that…I hated her!

Kami at workingmomfence recommended reading your kickass post and I’m so glad I did. I love your honesty and your overall tone is hilarious. I had a vomity kid last week and I’m fortunate enough to work for a company that didn’t even blink an eye. I even got a few emails asking how my vomity child was feeling. Do you like that I used vomity twice already? Actually make that three times.

Wow, I always manage to underestimate the evil that lies in the heart of some people. A little effing compassion wouldn’t kill anyone.

Congrats on the new-ish position!

I’m so glad you’re getting out of there.

I’ve had bosses who don’t comprehend being a mother with small children. And I work from home. Supposedly on a flexible schedule. This person thought it would be wonderful to insist that all people working on a specific project be online from the time she got into her office in the morning until the time she went home in the evening AND then come back online after she arrived home until midnight. (Essentially, she had no life, so we shouldn’t have lives either).

I refused. She wrote me up for insubordination and tried to get me fired .

Thank god for documentation and a person over her who has a brain (and a lateral transfer to a different department over which she has no control).
