Sometimes life's little challenges work out for the best. I'm at my new job now and I like it so much better than the old one. It is a much smaller company and I'm in a more advanced position. Very nice.
I found out even more about the messed up situation that ended up making me leave my old job. A client of mine that was involved with the projects while I was on maternity leave called to let me know that he would like to continue working with me, but not my old company. Aparently, he and the other clients were not upset with me, but were extremely annoyed by how poorly their projects were managed by another staff member. That really ticks me off, because the client had told the owner of the company that, yet they still choose to give me a pay cut and just slapped the wrist of the other employee. It is one of those situations that make me wish I could do something about it that would let them know just how stupid they were and are.
I still think the bottom line is that it isn't a law suit worthy situation, but boy does part of me wish it were.
