It's the boss' birthday. Since he's also a friend and not just a boss and not to get emotions mixed up, I sms-ed him as usual in the morning with my greeting. No response. Ok. Never mind. He does get busy and forgets so we will let this rest.
Later in the afternoon he calls to say he is attending my Ex-Com Meeting. Ok. I'm fine with that. No worries. After the meeting he excuses everyone and asks me to stay back. I knew something was not right. He starts the conversation by saying that my failure to tell him certain things have got him into trouble. So, I have to back track now so you'll understand.
We send report A to the owner and the boss everyday. Report A is very basic. Report B is circulated internally and includes all kinds of attachments with logs and incident reports and what not. I had two incidents last week and the reports circulated as per normal. However, last year my boss did tell me to include incident reports together with report A for the owner. I passed the message and it was followed... albeit... for a while then it reverted to the old way... I don't know why, maybe because the other two properties were still doing the old way and were not required to change. I never noticed that it had reverted as I receive all reports and as long as I received the reports I don't pay attention to which e-mail it is attached to. So... we failed to send it as we were required to but I did send sms-es reminding the person responsible to do it. Short from doing this myself, that is about all that I can do.
So... back to today. Now I am being accused of deliberately not sending the reports out as I knew I was already leaving. My boss was informed of the incidents by me, verbally. It's just that the reports were not sent out as it should have been. Were there any losses in these incidents? No... one was a suspected narcotic bust and the other a credit card fraud which we found out and incurred no loss.
Wow!! That's what I said to my boss. Wow!! 11 years and you think this of me? Wow!! Thank you very much. So, he then asks me when would I like to leave to make this 'clean'? Originally when I tendered I had planned for the 15th as the last day as I had 28 days of leave to clear and only required to serve a month's notice.... but he asked for more time and I told him 30 days max... so now he asks me when I would like to leave to make it 'clean'... Saturday or Monday he asked... again... Wow!! So, this is how it's going to be... whatever I said... do what you must... you have a job to do so do it. I am outgoing so don't worry about me... Just think of yourself. You tell me when and I will go. If you say now... I will go now.
Then I carried on telling him... I was very sad to leave after 11 years but now... I am so glad with my decision. I think God loves me as I don't need to put up with all this shit anymore. Good luck to you as you have to stay and deal with all this and put up with all this shit. And I went on to tell him... I have the sms-es with me with my instructions to make sure the reports were sent. He replied... so you did instruct? And they failed to do it? I said Yes... but you know what? You've already thought such of me and I am not going to let you see the sms-es... I am outgoing... it is their intention to pin anything that they can on me so let me shoulder this. No need to drag anyone in anymore.
So, tell me when and I will leave. He finally decided the 15th. I said FINE....
Then he continued small talk... I just entertained him out of respect and pity as he turns 64 today yet he has to do this shitty work as he has a schooling son to think of.
So, there you have it... slog 11 years for them giving your best... uncountable leave forfeited due to non-clearance... churning millions for them... and this is what you get in return. And what a lame reason... Wow!! My ex-wife was right... she did say that they will never appreciate what I do.
I think I will sleep well tonight.
