Eventually our relationship got so bad that I tried to get another job, but I was paid so well that it was nearly impossible to be considered for a job that would give me the same pay and employers did not want to hire someone who would get a huge pay cut.
Our relationship was so toxic that in frustration I complained to his boss. That got me no where and lots of hurt. My boss declared war on me and started to nit pick my work like crazy-even worse than before- and eventually got enough on me and fired me. He would not give me a reference and would not let anyone else give a professional reference for me either. HR told all potential employers I was FIRED and not eligible for rehire.
It took me a year to find a new job and that paid 50% of my old job and was for a poor fly by night company. My career went down hill from there and I never recovered.
Now I keep running into this terrible man in public places and our eyes meet, he frowns and keeps walking. I feel like I should tell him off next time we meet. Not doing so has made me depressed for days afterwards. He can't hurt me anymore, can he?
