Stitched Up and Shafted!

I have been stitched up and shafted and there's very little I can do about it. Don't you just hate it when that happens? Not in a small way either, in a significantly damaging to employment way! I'm still there for another couple of weeks yet though, but in essence I have been replaced and it reeks of cronyism. I don't think I even had a chance. The person who was appointed in my stead may well be a good friend of one of the interviewers. That's what I'm hearing behind the scenes.

I was only ever onto a loser, being interviewed to stay in my job. I wanted to leave anyway, just not by their choice, by my own. It's unfortunate that things have turned out the way they have. Unless I can find somethng suitable in the next couple of weeks I will be a man of leisure again for the first time in almost 7 years. It's ironic to think it's virtually 21 years to the day that I started my first full-time job.

I've gone through the whole range of emotions; anger, resentment, frustration, hatred, but I'm now slowly heading towards acceptance. It's a profession in which it's very difficult to know who you can trust. I learnt that mistake quite quickly, but nothing can stop others plotting your demise and for no other reason than a refusal to admit that their idiotic ideas are the only acceptable ones. These people have a very child-like view of the World and clearly they're still in the playground where they used to gang-up on others. Age is no barrier to incompetence and ignorance!!!
