I’m letting people who hurt me in the past live rent free in my mind.
One episode involves a former landlord that tried to run me over in an intersection with no traffic cameras.
Another one involves a manager that fired me for informing that one of his favorites yelled during night shift and ignored alarms to talk. He fired me the next day, used the exit interview to tell me everything I didn’t do right (but kept quiet about his favorites, even though I did the job like them), still had the utmost confidence on his favorites, accused me of being lazy and instead of simply firing me and keeping neutral he chose to take it personal, proceeded to try to scare me insinuating I wouldn’t work for his system again, when that failed, tried to humiliate me and then fired me. This was in an non union hospital.
When I think about it I get angry. Id like not to be so thin skinned, but here I am.
I’m really lucky in that I learned “what goes around comes around” at a relatively early age.
When I was 16/17, the main bully from my secondary school died. He’d taken a car to go joyriding and lost control when being chased by the police.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learnt that, while it can sometimes take a long time, people who treat other people badly get what’s coming to them more often than not.
This has not happened in my life. The person who was the worst to me also lives in the most luxury and will likely die of old age in it.
