Texa Engineering Extension Agency

I went to work there about 3 years ago.  I worked in the mail room and delivered mail between divisions within the agency.  Back around the first of July, I found a part time job that was perfect for me.  I needed more flexibility but still needed to work.  I turned in my resignation with two weeks notice.  I left on July 16, on a Wednesday at the end of a pay period.  I was asked if I would return part time.  They would work with me when  I needed to be off.  Against my better judgement, I reluctantly agreed because they were under a hiring freeze.  So I left on July 16 and got a call on July 18 asking if I could come in and take care of the afternoon work as my co-worker had called in. So I went. 

On August 6, after I left work and had gotten home, I got a call from my supervisor telling me they no longer needed after Friday.  I was being terminated.  However, they would be calling me when my co-worker called in sick or took off.  No you won't be calling me and this is really crappy.  I gave up a job I really wanted to help you out and I also gave you two weeks notice when I left and this is what I get?  What happened to the professionalism that is always touted?  This is jut plain crappy. 

I went in the next morning before hours, put my keys and name tag in an interoffice envelope, stuck in a note telling them that each and every member of management in that crappy agency could kiss my grits.  I kinda kept it clean. 

I have since learned that a woman form another division was brought into my department, a job created for her.  She is to sit outside the director's office, do some filing and whatever the director wants her to do.  She was also to be trained on sorting the mail and doing in office deliveries.  In other words, she was being paid around $30-35,000 to do nothing.  I was to be kept on call to fill in for my co-worker when she needed to be off.  According to the gossip I go, no one in my department knew this was going to go down and they have been told nothing.  Don't know, don't care.  It was crappy and unprofessional. 

This agency has 11 divisions and all but one has an old white man in charge.  The one that does not has a black male in charge.  No women heading any of these divisions.  This agency is hostile to women.  And they can take the job and shove it. 

Now I got to find another job.
