Countdown to Showdown

This post is part of the series titled, "Waging War At Work." The table of contents for this series is listed below in chronological order:

  1. Fighting The Devil Woman
  2. Forced to Fight
  3. A Battle Won
  4. Countdown to Showdown
  5. The Last Mile
  6. Line in The Sand - Taking a Stand
  7. You are the MAN!



I won a small victory at work, but it may not be over just yet.

Tomorrow I go back to my job for the first time in a month since this whole debacle began. Even though my union called and let me know the Devil Woman would be moved back to her old section, my coworkers were telling me a different story. I also heard that my supervisor might be transferred out as well, but nobody seems to know anything about that either. There’s a feeling that the brass might be pulling some maneuvering stunts here so that if my supervisor does get transferred out, they will move Devil Woman in his place and she’ll end up becoming my new supervisor after all.

I’ll know for sure tomorrow, at which point I’ll be calling in ahead of time to make sure she’s really gone. If she’s not, it’s war.

You know, finding justice is a noble calling, but the road to it is not a pleasant one, and there are no guarantees either. I’m in this alone, without the support of my coworkers, my union, or anybody else. All I have is God and a clear conscience in knowing I’m doing the right thing. The line has been drawn. This madness has to end now. People are getting hurt, and the integrity of our workforce is being compromised. And yet nobody wants to take a stand here because they’re all afraid for their jobs?

To hell with that. I’d rather stand in line at the unemployment office than take this kind of abuse. I want to go to bed at night knowing I stood up against evil and that I refused to be cowed by their intimidation and threats. I will not be their @#$% rug for them to walk all over.

And if they don’t know that already, then they surely will soon. :bat:

Unfortunately, I don’t believe you can get unemployment if you quit because of a conflict with a coworker.

Unfortunately I didn’t go to work today, because she was STILL there. What a day, feels like I came back from a war zone. :(
