I'm weird if I want my old job back?

[Anonymous]

i left my old job of six years 4 months ago.

i was tired of working 60 hour weeks during the summer & because they would not give me a raise i felt they did not care about me if they would not give me a raise.

found out days ago my old manager who i only worked for two months was giving me a bad name to jobs that would call her to asked about me.

i feel like me & her were the same she had a bad life as a kid i did as well. & one time she even said at work we come from we come from diff worlds but we click. she was the store manager i was her assistant manager.

i don't know if she would hire me back even if see needed someone asap.

when i found out she was giving me bad references i emailed the CEO & HR told on her.

i think she only give me a bad reference as she was upset i had left & lonely at work.

i'm weird what do you think?

You’re not weird but I think you pretty much burned your bridges with her when you told the CEO on her. On the plus side, if she was giving you a bad reference she probably wasn’t gonna hire you back anyway even if you didn’t do that so why not?

true i felt she was a friend sometimes maybe i was wrong

[WhitneySnow]

A friend wouldn’t give you a bad reference behind your back

[Asker]

true but we only worked together for two months or less friendships take time.

sometimes i just think she was upset thats why she did that.

[WhitneySnow]

You’re probably right

[Asker]

@whitneysnow hope i don't sound crazy i always try to be nice in life.
after what she did i though maybe i should be a rude piece of work in life but i'm not sure

[Asker]

@whitneysnow about what?

[WhitneySnow]

No. She’s just a bitch. Most people aren’t like that.

[WhitneySnow]

That she badmouthed you cause she was upset

[Asker]

@WhitneySnow she had a hard life she told me her step father used to touch plus other things maybe she just did not know how to handle her past

[WhitneySnow]

Maybe. Sounds like she might’ve been over sharing if you only knew her for two months.

[Asker]

i sometimes think she saw something in me that i never saw she would say she trusts my judgement on work things

[Asker]

@whitneysnow may i pm you so i dont blow up this post lol you will have to follow me first so i can pm

[WhitneySnow]

Maybe. But she was still a bitch to you after you left.

On the other hand I feel bad encouraging you to be mad at her. If you want to forgive her go right ahead.
