As you know, I was fired last week. Today, I had to take some office equipment to the person in charge of such things.
Well. There was one item missing, and I have no idea where it could be. The person in charge of such things was telling me that if I can't find it at home, I'll have to pay for it, yadda yadda.
I just turned and left without saying anything more, leaving this person babbling behind me.
I sent a text message to my manager (now my former manager), asking if he might have found the missing item after I left the office the week before last. He called me, because he wasn't sure what I meant in the text, and I explained that I'd just dropped off the equipment, and the person in charge wanted me to pay for the missing item. (By the way, we aren't talking about something big. Something about as important as a pair of scissors, or a computer cable.)
Former manager, bless him, told me that if he had been able to do it, he would have destroyed the proof that I even had the item in the first place! He couldn't, though, and I haven't found the item, so I might have to pay for it.
But.
He told me that he's going to send me his email address so that I can send him my CV. He said that he knows people who work in HR in other companies, and he'll send it on to them!
"I really don't want to go back to [Company]," he confided. "You're better off not being there."
A very nice note for the end of the year.
