What does he want?
Wondering to no end how my former boss could be so pissed off at me.. It’s not like I did something bad to him, I didn’t.
After having been a super obedient member of the staff, I felt then that I did not deserve to be treated that way because I did everything I could to follow instructions not minding the extremity of it all — to the max! just to avoid being “insubordinate”
I went away because I could not anymore take being dragged into an office conflict, the sleepless nights, the pressure, verbal instructions that would eventually result in more hostility. I mean, how could he not understand that and sympathize to the cause? He laid out the groundwork to get me separated from the service and pursued that until, yes, finally I was out. Was he not content with that?
Who would not get hurt with this kind of treatment? But I took it all in stride vowing to myself that I will really leave all that war behind and concentrate on my life ahead. But still, when I asked for my employment documents, he took the opportunity again to pressure me, making up ridiculous requirements.
It is a wonder what a person “in power” will resort to just to put pressure on people who go against their will. Going against his will does not mean blatant disobedience on my part. I just went away coz I couldn’t stand it anymore. God know the tears I cried when 30 minutes after verbally consenting to my leave application, he changed his mind and said that he will not allow me to go. I do believe that he TOTALLY forgot that I did previously follow ALL his orders TO THE LETTER and that I do have a life and kids to think about.
So here I am now, trying to comply with his ”special” instructions as best I can however painful it might be, and unjustifiable too. The answer to the question is obvious, he wants to get back at me for leaving. I realize now that this is a penalty for trying to get my life back.
