I'm done with my letter to the big boss after a few edits & it will be submitted today. The boss can either do something or can't. If he/she can't, I'll accept it of course & know it's not meant to be. One thing I'll never do is never give up, so I'll work earnestly toward getting another job.
Here's the letter if anyone cares to read it:
For the last two years I've been working as a ___. I first interviewed for (the other ___) position by ___ and he/she really talked me into working as a ___ instead of a ___. I was promised help (which was made mandatory by my grad school program), a lower workload, and a part-time position (3-4 days a week) to work permanently or if I ever want to work full-time. I have my __ license as well, but since ___ had the faith in me to offer a ___ position, I took the position. I was given help, but not enough help. I was trying to learn as much as I could with the time available. I also attended ___ and other trainings (which were informed to us by and approved by ___) and received certificates so I could learn more and understand the scope of my job even better. When ___ evaluated me last year, he/she noted some things that I needed to improve on, which is understandable. I made great improvements, but no one evaluated me in the second year to see if I improved or not. Then my I get a letter stating that I will not be able to stay in my position. When I asked why, I was told and I quote, "you didn't show enough growth", despite that he/she never observed/evaluated me. No one told me that I was not doing something correctly or doing a bad job. I did what I was told to do. Of course, I realize that I had a lot to learn and maybe being a ___ was a little much too soon, but I also have my ___ license.
Before ___ left, he/she created an analysis of how short-staffed the company is on ___ and how it is not just about the workload size at each site. According to him/her, the ___ is short on 30+ ___. He/she also calculated how many days per week each ___ would have to work at his/her site(s) to do his/her job adequately. Many of the veteran ___ were thrilled to hear that this kind of analysis had been done. Well, myself, being new, was technically doing a full-time job in the part-time schedule that I had, so in addition to my job duties at the ___, I've also been doing my rigorous grad school program of homework assignments and tests.
First, I talked with the ___, who was unable to be of assistance. I then talked with ___, regarding this situation and he/she advised me to talk with __ and keep him/her in the loop. I talked with ___, but ___ said and I quote, “you did not show fast enough growth” and would not offer to give me more help, or change the situation. I returned to ___ to inform him/her of what was said, and he/she said he/she would look into the matter and email me.
Well, he/she emailed ,e only to tell ,e and I quote, "After reviewing the conversations you had with both __ and __, the ___ and ___ will not be bringing you back next year as stated in the letter you received from our office dated ___."
I first started working for this company when I was a ___ starting in 1999. She has since received her __ degree and two certifications. I have many letters of recommendations. When ___ first hired me, I was told and I quote, "You're well respected amongst the ___ here." They all loved me when she used to fill in for them.
___, please don’t let them take my career with __ away or forbid me from getting another position for the company. I wants to have a long career here. Please, look into this for me.
