I feel totally powerless and depressed.
My former employer deposited my payroll and then reversed it. I have emailed a million people and gotten no response or explanation. I don't know if they are screwing with me or just complete idiots.

They are trying to deny me getting unemployment compensation. This is not a sure thing, but everything is held back until a decision is made, and that means I can't possibly get any money from them for another 10 days.

I had a strong lead on a new job but it hasn't come through yet. They were supposed to let me know, but they haven't yet. Now I am starting to worry about cash flow if my old employer is going to totally screw me over. Even if I get the new job I will have a hard time of it for a couple weeks. And if I don't get it I am going to starve and be evicted. Ain't corporate America wonderful.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

3. My advice: think instead about how it would feel to be empowered and uplifted

I'm sorry you're bummin', but know that you can shift it for yourself anytime by simply changing the way you are thinking about it. :hug:

You are more powerful than you are remembering right now.

That's why I'm reminding you. :hug: We help to remind each other when we "forget". We're all reflections of each other, afterall....:D

:loveya:

4. Thanks.
I reported them both (the VP of Finance and the VP of Human Resources) to the Corporate Ethics Hotline for screwing with me and my paycheck, and now I feel more like the messer rather than the messed with.

7. The Ahole
who made the mistake called me and now I will get the money Monday or Tuesday. But they don't apologize for it. Instead they're pissed that I'm pissed and sent a ton of emails. Imagine that. They can't imagine why someone gets pissed when their payroll gets reversed on a Friday afternoon, just after they've made a car payment.

God, I hate these rich soulless corporate Assholes.

8. You just proved you aren't powerless
Good on you!!! :thumbsup:

I don't blame you for feeling that way, though - or angry, or frustrated, or hurt. You were betrayed, and how. :(


:hug:
