New beginningšŖ
Hi everyone, just looking for some advice on what to say (if anything) on my last day!
So long story long, after a long career in retail I decided to take a job in leasing about two years ago.. I had considered taking a teaching job before making this decision, however, the pay was so much more I couldnāt say no.. I have been very successful and have made so much that leaving was not really an option..
The downside of this decision is that my manager hates me and doesnāt even try to hide it. Itās like no matter what I do she always has something to point out that I did wrong or forgot. Not even big things, for example forgetting to turn music on, getting the golf cart before 9:30am on the dot, not opening a set of BLINDS! Literally the smallest things and she gives me attitude every time (I am not the only person in the office and she doesnāt talk to my other co-workers this way)
Anytime I am doing really well she makes it a point to put me down or if she does say thank you, you can tell she is struggling to spit out the words ( yes I have tried to talk to her and fix things and all it did was cause her to avoid me/ignore me)
ANYWAYS- one day about a month ago I really let it all out to my husband. I never like to complain because I knew we needed my income and housing discount since we live on site.. he was so supportive and told me that I donāt need to worry, if I left tomorrow we would make it work and he didnāt mind if I took some time off to be home with our baby (almost 3yr.old) I cried so much and felt a sense of relief to know that no matter what we had each other!
So a few days later she pulled me to her office to ātalk about her concerns with meā š and when it was finally my time to talk, I told her that I wanted to give my two weeks.šš»šš»ššš
She immediately changed her tone and asked if I didnāt at least want to work on things or think about it! I told her I would and I took the day off. The next day she was back to her attitude (I think she was mad) and asked me if I had thought about it. I told her I did and my mind was set. She wasnāt happy and asked for at least one more month. I said ok.š
Finally the point of the post! Thanks for sticking around if you have this far! šš
Within the week I had three offers at the three schools I applied for (was not expecting this and also so much for a break! Lol) we found a new home and move in this week!! My last day with her is next Thursday and I start as a kindergarten teacher on Tuesday (my dream job)šššš
Here is where I am asking your advice!
What should I say to her on my last day?
I know she will avoid me as always but I know there will be some goodbyes?? Just donāt know..
How would you have handled everything?
And yes I did go to HR but I have asked that they donāt address anything until I am gone because I didnāt want her to retaliate.
Thank you and wish me luck!ā¤ļø
UPDATE: I kept to myself the reminder of my time there. She had moments that reminded me why I was leaving but I didnāt pay her any mind.
Yesterday was my last day and she ended up leaving while I was out of the office.. didnāt even say a word to meš I know I made the best decision and now she can live with herself and her bitchy attitude.
For reference I am the fifth employee she has lost in the past year.
Sucks to be her.š
