It's a weird feeling, not having a job. It's nice to not worry about getting up and going anywhere, but I HAVE done that for so long that I don't know what it's like not to. And I'm especially bummed out about the circumstances. I didn't even get to say goodbye to anyone. This is not how I wanted to leave. I wanted to get another job and then resign from CVS. I hardly saw immediate suspension and a threat of termination coming. Me and at least six other people. They said they would "decide" and "let us know," but I know for a fact that was a lie. There was never any doubt, they plan to fire us. So I just beat them to it and quit. I wasn't about the give them the satisfaction of firing me.

To make a long story short for those of you who don't know, my co-workers and I were doing something that we were never told was wrong. In fact, the managers (including the store manager) were also doing it. None of us still see any wrong on what we were doing, and we were never told to stop. If they had told us a year ago "hey, quit" then we would have. But they didn't. They let it go for so long, and then came in to fire us all for it. It's ridiculous. The only person who is guilty but got away with is is our store manager. She did it too and she knows she did. She knew she shouldn't have, too. But she did it where she couldn't get caught, and then never told us not to do it. Now she's allegedly upset and was crying in the office today because she's losing all of her good employees. It's really hard for me to have a whole lot of sympathy for her. That store will never be the same now. We were great employees. We worked our tails off for that place with no appreciation whatsoever. (Mark told me that he appreciated me, though, which was nice.) If she's so broken up about losing us, then she should've done something to stop it.

Anyway... I quit before they could fire me. I'm not about to have "fired" on my employment history. I wrote a letter to Stephanie that I'll give her tomorrow along with my official letter of resignation. At the end of the letter I told her I have no interest in discussing it further, so I hope she just quits while she's behind and not try to make it worse.

Now I need a job.
