In reply to the discussion: So the group of people I work with is moving to another floor...someone is taking my office [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)8. I told myself that. But it's a taking away of something...
It's personal. It means something. To fail to recognize that the company regards me that way would be failing to realize what else might be coming my way (not good things). It's not the office, per se. If they had a good reason for it, like if it had gone to another person on our team, I'd understand that. But if someone slaps me in the face, I notice. This is a slap in the face, to me.
You're right about the insurance, though. Wish we had Medicare for all.
It's not healthy for me to stay somewhere where I'm not treated well.
Decisions are always tough for me, esp when my emotions are involved.

There is no faster way to get employees stirred up than to start fucking around with their space

One more thing. This last post about the age discrimination reminded me of this book.

Thanks for the practical suggestions. I needed to be reminded/told of these things.

Like a miracle, the angst and trauma and drama broke today like a fever. And I'm staying.

Yes. It's a demotion, possibly. It means something. It's not just space. It's like...

Well, I couldn't ask, exactly. We're not assigned. The VPs either want & need an asst or they don't.
