The Warped Mirror

It is betrayal that hurts me. The point here is that if you aren't happy with someone in a position, then wouldn't you talk to them before hand, maybe a warning at some point, before demoting them? Wouldn't it feel pretty bad to get dumped on out of the blue, and told that you don't do a good job even though you work very hard?

For clarification:

On Thursday, October 3rd, I was brought to Dunkin Donuts at 10:00 am by the owner and the Manager. I was told that they were not happy with me as Assistant Manager, I was shocked. Just a week before, I was told that I was doing a great job, the store looked great, etc.

I cried, I was upset. I felt like I was in a dream. I have put alot of work into this place for almost 2 years and now, without any warning, and these two people, who I thought were fair people, at least, were now telling me that I could either take a big pay cut, or not work there anymore. They were very cruel about it. Very cold. You tell me, Suz, is that a grown up thing to do? When asked why this was happening, i was cited three reasons.

1.A co-worker (who I later found out was Elizabeth) had complained about me. 2.I had scheduled someone to work on a day she didn't normally work and she didn't check the schedule for changes, so she didn't show up. Wouldn't you check your schedule each week? 3. I didn't leave the schedules out so people could see them for the next few weeks. They were right in my box, which I had completing emptied, except for them, before going on vacation. I didn't put them out because my boss likes to look them over first. I couldn't believe it, I mean this is so ridiculous. I was crying very hard now, and the owner said, in an annoying way" why are you crying? this is a business decision, we still like you personally"
To which I replied "I am upset, this is emotional, this is like a family to me, and I feel hurt"

to which He replied "You shouldn't feel hurt"

Well to make a long repetitive story short, this went on for a while and then I shut off and just stared at them. I just agreed with them and took the bookselling position they offered. But I felt horrible. Horrible.

I tried to continue, but I just couldn't take the hipocricy any longer. I was sick to my stomach.

So on Saturday, I quit, I told my manager I was appauled at the way she and the owner treated me, appauled at the lack of communication, and I couldn't bear to work for people like that.

My friend, decided that she didn't want any part of that crap either, so she decided to walk as well.

So, yes I am hurt, and I ask you all, wouldn't you be too?

I admit, Blog deletion is silly. I think I was childish to do it, and I should probably talk to Elizabeth to try to clear things up, because I felt that we were good friends, and good friends are important. I am just all over the place with emotion right now, so ... I don't know what else to say.
Be careful elizabeth.

She has talked alot of shit about you to me, which I tried to ignore and walk away from. She is evil and I warn you in the most sincere way. BE CAREFUL...
