• I Am Battle, Hear Me Cry

  So you remember the post where I talked about my job screwing me over? If you don’t, please reference this post.

  So this morning, not long after I had started work, the boss comes over to me and says, “Hey Crystal K.” I said “Hi K- A.”

  She said, “So, you were right about the whole failure thing.” After I had been removed from the facility, I told her I knew my replacement was going to fail, and I had warned them she wasn’t going to work out while I had been training. After she said this, I didn’t know what to say, so I said, “Thank you for saying so,” with a quizzical look on my face.

  She then told me that the customer was requesting my presence in the other facility so I could bail out my replacement. Apparently, she had gotten very far behind in only a week and a half. So we talked for a little while. I had asked before, if my replacement didn’t work out, would I go back to that position or would they just find someone else. I was told they would find somebody else. This morning I asked the same question, but I asked if my replacement doesn’t work out, would they just find somebody else. She hesitated, and with a little smile, she said maybe. That leads me to believe that if they fire my replacement, I would be taking back my position. So I drove to the other facility.

  When I got there, I was greeted by many people, and my return was rejoiced (almost literally!). I was told of the many and different kinds of mistakes she had been making, by many, many people. I had to fix a lot of things, and everything still isn’t fixed.

  I was also told that all of my former coworkers were doing their damndest to try and get me back there. C said, “You have no idea the kinds of hoops we’ve had to jump through to get you here.” Yeah, they’ve all been fighting for me. I felt SO loved today! They said they will continue to fight for me, and maybe I will get my old position back.

  I saw my boss a little after I had gotten back, and I told her some of the mistakes that my replacement had been making, including almost sending a part back to the wrong supplier.

  Well, we’ll see what happens =]
