I just need to vent/complain

I had a ridiculous week. Long story short, our main guy in the financial department quit last week because he took another job in PA. Ok, good for him. Problem is that rather than be helpful in the transition, he basically gives me and his assistant a four hour crash course on running the finances for every thing. This week he didn't even bother to come into the office and we've been completely on our own trying to figure this all out. To be fair, we actually did well thanks to the entire office pitching in... It just made for a long, tiring week.
In the long run this is a very good thing. This guy, who btw is actually my uncle which makes for further family complications, has been very difficult to work with for a very long time. So that is a positive.
Now the cherry on my week is that I'm currently on hour 3 of sitting on the couch with a sickening migraine and M is oot. Not what I had in mind for today. *tears*
Thanks for letting me vent.

Re: I just need to vent/complain

  • I don't understand the point of being that unhelpful in a workplace transition, especially if you're seemingly leaving on good terms.  It just doesn't do anyone any favors, and definitely doesn't paint yourself in the best light.  But good for you and your coworkers fighting through it!

  • Yeah, going way out of my way to make my job transition easier for everyone but me has only scored me major brownie points, not just with my former employer (for future references) but also with my new employer because they see the commitment I am willing to give through the long run. Boo on your uncle! Hope the headache gets better.... try a cup of coffee and 4 ibuprofen and a nap. That's what my FIL would prescribe, no joke. And it usually works!
