Ok, so I finish work at my current job at month end. I have been here for 14 years now, worse thing is it is working for my ex-husband. As I am arranging salaries prior to our long easter weekend coming up I asked about a farewell package, a bonus and/or any little thank you, and was told that the company is not performing well enough...... I wonder why???

Sorry, he has just borrowed 20K from the company for a mortgage bond, 12K from the company to buy a car, all his and his wife (my ex-best friends') holidays paid for by the company, her medical aid monthly and her monthly cell phone bills..... WTF???

Unbelievable, can't wait to get outta here and have him out of my life for good after 26 years of him!

Sorry bout that, had to let it out :)

Happy Monday WA

Move on, quickly and decisively.

Wow - my heart goes out to you! It's crazy how life is so unfair at times. But just remember - he will get his payback. Some people call it Karma, I say God sees what's going on. Keep your chin up. Have a Happy Monday, despite what happened. I've found when you count your blessings and see how other people have worse things going on, what I have in front of me is NOTHING. There are people fighting for their last breath right now. BTW, I'm recently divorced too so I know how you feel. Take care, it's ok to vent - it's healthier than keeping it in.

Kerry, you have my sympathies. I'm not a legal expert by any means, certainly not in your jurisdiction, but if your company has owners besides your ex, it might possibly be appropriate that they be made aware of misuse of corporate funds ...

Also, I think that loans unrepaid by end of corporate fiscal year-end (or some other trigger date) might be subject to tax as income to the beneficiary of the loan; there may be other implications as well. Certainly financial benefits to persons other than employees who can establish their need for these benefits as relating to their corporate functions (eg. cellphone expenses) might constitute breaches of either gov't. or corporate by-laws, worth further investigating, in my opinion.

Might be worth your while to spend an hour with a lawyer qualified to answer such questions, rather than stewing in resentment and/or frustration for having done nothing. If there's something to be done, weigh the cost, financial and otherwise, then act; if not, please , for the sake of your own health (physical and mental), let it go.
I know, easy to recommend to others, not so easy to actually do.
We're not living in Disneyworld, often people do get away with hurting others, and seem to suffer no negative consequences ...

Don't punish yourself needlessly by seething with resentment!
All my best wishes to you for your speedy exit from these trying circumstances.

Whoops, had another look at your profile, it seems you're in Zimbabwe after all, not South Africa.

Oh well, seems as if I myself have been enjoying too much of the good stuff ... I will now attempt to follow, belatedly, the advice of Will Rogers SR.: the first thing to do when trying to extract oneself from a hole is to stop digging, LOL! Or words to that effect.

Hi KerryP,
I wish you great success in WA so you can get out and start a great new life for yourself.

You need a new life and you will have one with WA!!!

Tried and true

Wow! Glad you're getting out of there, your life's just gonna get better from here and you won't have any negativity from that place. I'm not even 26 yet, so I can't imagine having a person like that in my life for that long. We're always here to listen, though!

All things work for good for both of you.

Wow... hats off to you for sticking around so long. No wonder you needed to vent.
With Grace and Gratitude

Kerry,
There is nothing wrong with a good vent. Blow off all the steam you need to until you feel more relaxed.
But here is a little tough love.
You will never be free of your ex until you can wish him well.
And then you are free to wish yourself well.
A lot easier said than done especially since he is still within eyesight.
Next time you see him, genuinely wish him well. And do that over and over until you feel no resentment. Right now you carry the upset .
To get back in touch with the real you, you need to drop any negative thought you hold toward him. Then you are back to a neutral state and you are free to observe your ex. You might see he is unhappy also.
I have no doubt you will get plenty of support here at WA. There are a lot of very well meaning people in this little community but only you can choose the thoughts and feelings that benefit you.

Why do I say this. I have been where you are now and then some. The only way I got back to who I really was to forgive and forget and tune into who I really was.

So why got go ahead and be the beautiful you and make him wonder what the hell has just happened.

Thanks for the advice Greg. No feelings for him whatsoever, just can't believe what a #@%&*! he is being :)

Ex's are definitely pieces of work man I hear ya mine creeps me on facebook domestic violence and he actually thinks I would go back yeah right I'm not divorced yet but getting there soon my point is I get it thanks for venting sometimes it is highly necessary. Thanks for sharing. Peace
