After 10 years…

… of great performance reviews

… being told I’m one of the best in our company – state-wide

… training over 10 co-workers, having their bosses tell my boss how wonderful I am, how I know the system and am able to quickly teach the new people, make it easy for them to understand, and they like the way I teach.

… of being the go to person state-wide for the old accounting system, while learning the new one…and being told I’m doing great..

Today I find out that the boss who is leaving, told the directors who are now going to be my boss, that I am unqualified and do not have the necessary education to do my job.

After 10 years, of being told that I am one of the best, I am being told that I’m not good enough, that all that I’ve done, I’m not capable of doing my job.

What I’m not sure of, what I don’t understand … if I am not good enough to do it now, why was I good enough to do it then?  How does that work, and on what planet does that seem right?

Why was I good enough to train new employees, be the sole support staff for the old software, while learning a new one, I was one of the first ones done with year end reports, with no issues, I helped three other offices do their reports, solved their issues… and today, I’m not good enough.

Today, I don’t have the education needed?

But on a positive side – none of us, the people that are left, the people that he hired, and bragged about how wonderful we are, how capable we are… none of us are educated enough to do our jobs.  (TWO have four year degrees, one has a Masters degree… but we are not educated enough to do the job…)  And to top it off, he doesn’t have the guts to be in the office today, and face us, we will not see him, as the next week will be extremely busy, and then he is gone…he “has some vacation he has to use, or he will lose”.

Can anyone else smell the BS?  Or am I too close to the situation?

Does anyone need a secretary/receptionist/bookkeeper/ jane of all trades type of an office girl?  I’ve got a great phone voice, I’m great with all our clients – face to face and on the phone.  I am a quick learner, and I am a hard worker.  I am fast on the computer, and data entry, I’m accurate, and I follow the rules.  I’m big on rules.  I’m a “Right is right, wrong is wrong” type of a gal.  I’ll bend over backwards to help a child.

I’m guessing within 6 months, I wont have a job.

I just can’t believe that they would listen to his BS, and not stop to think that maybe, this isn’t true, otherwise, why wouldn’t he have gotten rid of us years ago?  Why would he let us collect a paycheck if we were not capable of doing our work?

Frustrated. Am. I.
