Good evening all you fly cats and kittens,

I had attempted to broadcast this yesterday but after writing something and then erasing it about a dozen or so times, I decided against it.

With a clearer head, I will now cut to the chase.

I was fired yesterday.

Oh, I'm sorry. Not fired. I "resigned, effective immediately." The only difference between the two is I'm still in "good standing" with the company. Thinking back on it now, I should have taken the termination option, considering how I have no intention of ever working for the Ritz Carlton ever again and I probably could have used the unemployment.

I'm still mystified as to why they suddenly decided to do this, especially considering how understaffed we are in the F&B position. Granted, I was never the greatest supervisor but I was reliable and timely and did my job to the best of my abilities. Incredibly shortsighted of them, but then again, I have come to expect nothing less from the place, which dazzled me time and time again with shortsighted and boneheaded decisions.

My boss, who never liked me and I'm sure was itching to use any excuse to get rid of me, deluged me in a huge load (and I do mean load) of bullshit reasonings for the state of affairs. I suppose I'll never know the real bullshit reason for my termination.

All I can take solace in is the fact that nothing that goes on there will ever be my problem again. That and I can finally grow back the chin scruff. I missed it so much.

I have heard tell that my boss might also not be in his position for much longer.
This gives me much pleasure, though I wish they had done so before he fired me. I must remember to send him an e-mail if and when that happens.

The cockmonger.
