So you know how I let my employer know ages ago that I was moving to Orlando this summer? You know, gave them plenty of advance notice so they could plan for it, and wound up being able to arrange working remotely because I was so up front with them?
Sara didn't.
She deliberately avoided telling her manager about it because she wanted to avoid a scene. She had planned on sitting down and talking to her this week, but one way or another the rumor reached her manager over the weekend. Her manager was pissed. Bear in mind, this is the manager that Sara needs on her side to help her transfer if at all possible. Failing that, this is the manager that Sara needs to be on her side so that when she leaves she can take her ID with her for a week to use her cast member discount on hotel room and park admission while waiting for our belongings to make it across the country. Because she was not up front and honest about the move, she blew that. She may or may not be able to recover.
On top of that, apparently the week of the move is the same week that her manager had planned on taking a week's vacation with her family to go to Disneyland. If she doesn't have Sara's replacement hired and up to speed within the next 11 weeks, she won't be able to take that vacation. This, of course, does not make her happy. So what did Sara tell her? She lied through her teeth and blamed me for the moving date, saying that I had given notice to my company and made all the moving arrangements without clearing the dates with her first. Not really picking up on that whole "open and honest" thing, is she? She just conveniently used me as a scapegoat on the assumption that I'll never bump into this person anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
What a fucking bitch.
I mean seriously. Every place that she has worked since I have known her, she has been surrounded by incompetent people, people who are out to get her, people who treat her in a grossly unfair manor. It has never once occurred to her that maybe, just maybe, *she* might be the problem in a work environment. Everything is always somebody else's fault.
Like mother, like daughter.
Grr.
