So my position was terminated at my job.

So my position was terminated at my job. I pretty much knew that it was going to happen because the new director does not like me. Unfortunately they offered me one month's servance pay but I have to work the full month to receive it. I would've rather been fired. I literally got another job the same day which pays $8 dollars more. The one employee walks around like a wounded animal because I only say hello to him and nothing else. He watches me like a hawk so he can report me to the director. I have been staying in my office doing as much background work for the new job but still keeping up with the work at my old job. We have a contract that I have been working with for 3 years and the new director just terminated it. I begged her to contact them about the termination but she ignored my emails. She was incredibly hostile when I went to her office to talk to her. I desided that noone has a right to treat me poorly and after the month is over what happens will happen. I need the money to move to my new job that is why I stayed. I have always focused on taking care of my clients and I think I have done this. Please leave if you realize that your job is toxic!!! No matter how much you try nothing will change. I literally stayed at this horrible job not making any money and getting a lot of grief for 3 years. I kept thinking working hard will change the tide. Right!

    Just keep your head down for the month it will go by quickly. Best of luck in your new job.

    I would recommend just keeping your head down for the remainder of your time there. Do what is required and then move on. Focus your mind on the new job and the month will fly by! Best of luck to you!
