So the woman who runs the warehouse at the shop intercepted an email that she should not have seen. NO fault of her own, my email had been set to forward to her while I was on vacation. Of course, the guy who set it up forgot about it, so in conversations we had via email, she…read some things.
Now, it’s not like I was mean or anything, far from it. I took great pains to point out her merits to the shop. There were, however, several personal issues regarding other employees that just could not be ignored.
I feel for this woman, she’s gruff, but she’s nice once you get to know her. She’s just the type of person who’s trust gets earned.
Anyway, she read some things and now she’s quitting. The terrible part about it is how ambivalent I feel about the whole mess.
She’s nice and does good work, but it’s not exactly rocket science, and finding a replacement isn’t going to be as hard as all that in the long run. Indeed, I think that in the long run, things will improve somewhat, as some of the issues we’ve had to deal with and tiptoe around won’t be a factor anymore.
Still, I don’t want to be the guy who just looks at it and says, “move on.” I’ve already had to do that and it sucks.
This time is not as bad, but that lingering feeling remains.
