I am officially unemployed~ Drama, drama, drama

Yeah you read that right.
SOOO I got the City job, and I accepted, and I "thought" the noble thing to do was give my job as much notice as possible. I loved my customers and I wanted to make sure they were all "transintioned" and knew what was going on.
Being the good person again turned out to bite me in the ass...

Let me tell you a little story....
We have a new President, he's been with the company for 15 years but at our location for about 3 months, since he has been there 3 people have left. Since I have been there 3 people had left and I had one (the HR lady) fired.
Ok so this new president is a little man. And he really is. When I first met him it was great, he would ask what I thought and I would tell him (I have never been one to blow sunshine up any ones ass) I told him a lot of things needed to be changed and I have never worked for a company where the people in customer service did not really "care" about there customers. Needless to say I came in like a tornado. I am passionate and I LOVE working in customer service, I have made a lot of changes and set really high expectations with my customers.

ANYWHO fast forward to Tuesday this week, we were having something air shipped in for a customer that has been doing business with the company for 40 years, well the new president wants to have it billed to the customer, WTF??? So I told him in no uncertain terms NO! That I knew this customer very well and they would cancel all the business with us, and this went back and forth I explained to him that it's not the customers problem that the SAME ITEM THEY HAVE ORDERED FOR 40 YEARS that we can not keep in stock they should be penanlized.
Anyways he walked out in a huff about it and called the sales guy and told him to do it.
The sales guy told him the same thing that the customer would no longer be a customer if we did that.
We won.
Then on Thursday he asked me to go out for lunch to "discuss" the business. I told him I understood his point from the business point of view, but my main issue is the customer suffering. We are after all A HUGE international company.
I told him he micro managed.
I told him he was stubborn.
I told him the moral was down.
I told him he made people feel like shit by yelling at them in front of EVERYONE (he is really this unprofessional and has even come back to apologize for this)
I told him he does not trust his team.

He agreed with everything. He asked me specific instances of his micro management, being stubborn, about the moral. I was honest because lets face it I just can not be when being asked.
He continued to try to justify why he does it.
I disagreed, we agreed to disagree.
Lunch ended on good terms I had gotten a lot of my chest and so had he (trying to justify why he is the way he is without understanding people are human)

Then yesterday when I got the call that I had gotten the city job, I did up my letter of resignation and brought it into the VP who is also my immediate manager. He was happy for me, upset I was leaving but happy for me, he invited me and the hubby for dinner, he hugged me and almost cried. He gave me compliments about being a strong women about being a great worker about being passionate about life and work. It went really well he said if I ever needed a reference, friend or to just talk he would always be there for me. I also told him my concern about the President, I said I was worried he was going to FREAK out and get angry. The VP said not to worry about it he will tell him.

I come in today in the morning and the VP gets me right when I am in the door telling me he needs to talk to me.

VP "I spoke to the President and even though you gave 4 weeks notice he wants you to finish out next week and that's it."

Me "Are you serious?"

VP " I am afraid so, I think he took it personal that you were leaving because of the conversation you guys had *(he was there too) I tried to fight for you saying you were doing the right thing by letting us know but he would not budge, I also think he will try to tell you I decided this (and I know there is no way this would have happened) I am really sorry"

Me "Ok, I'll talk to him I am not expecting anything really I sort of KNEW this was coming"

Then I go to talk to the President (small man)

Me "So VP tells me next Friday will be my last day?"

P "Yeah that's right, you have made the choice to leave so there is no use postponing it"

Me "Well I just wanted to let you know that I was not actively looking for a job, blah, blah blah"

P "that's fine (in the best 5 year old impression EVER) whatever you chose to do, the VP decided we only needed 1 week to transition your customers so after that there is no use having you here, I mean if you left today it would not really be a big deal, your leaving anyways, blah blah, blah"

Me "Ok well its obvious you do not care about the customers that I have been working with for 8 months and I will not be able to give them or the other CSRs any heads up or explain any of the accounts, I'll go through the business and say my good byes Thanks"

Everyone freaks out, asks a lot of questions, I tell everyone that I gave 1 month notice but its better for the "business" if we do not prolong it and I blame it all on the President (everyone already knew) he did not only screw me he also screwed everyone else who has no idea what's going on with my accounts and everyone else has been thrown into the mess because it means more work for everyone.

I laughed in his face when he had someone escort me out. But I was classy I gave everyone hugs and told them I will keep in touch, there are really only 2 people (the VP and a good friend that I made) that I will ever talk to again.

And its funny, driving away from that place made me feel free, relaxed and no worries.

Life is too short.
