I wasn't going to blog about this, but now the story is too good not to.Before I left the college, I lobbied for an adjunct teaching gig in the fall. The Social Sciences Dean gave me a class in the Early College schedule. It was a lock.
About a week after I left the college, the Dean called to fire me. I'm certain Bully VP made her do it. In fact, I predicted he'd do it. I knew he'd just have to take one last swipe at me. Bullies are predictable that way.
Court was shocked, because the Dean (for whom Court works) has a difficult time finding sociology adjuncts. Apparently PhD sociologists, available to teach during the day, are a rare thing. The Dean had to cancel a filled class at the main campus to free up a brought-out-of-retirement adjunct to teach the class originally assigned to me.
Here's where I get the last laugh. This week two private high schools asked to join the Early College program. This is a break for the college and something the college has been negotiating for two years. As karma would have it, both high schools want to offer a sociology course this fall. If the Dean, under Bully VP's orders not to hire me, cannot find an instructor, the courses can't be offered.
Truth be told, I was glad when the Dean took the class from me. I wanted to back out, but couldn't because I had lobbied so hard. But that class was going to mean driving sixty miles round-trip to an off-site center two days a week. Adjunct pay is low to begin with; figure in the commuting costs and it wasn't going to be worth it. Bully VP & the Dean actually did me a favor.

Don't you love stupid boss issues...especially of the power trip variety!?!
I swear by Karma! Glad this is working out for the best for you. Of course IF they came back and asked you again to teach, you could have a little fun...before you tell them where to put their request.
He's such a fucking cunt. Hope he keeps getting his payback.
hahahahahahaa.. oh I DO enjoy it when people screw themselves .. I hope all fingers point to bully VP and he gets his ass chewed!
Weyrd1, Though Bully VP oversees 80% of the college, he was never my boss. Maybe that was his problem.
Sassafras, they won't call me.
Syd, that's not a nice thing to say about cunts.
There are those few who get away with it, but I love how Bully VP does his shit and ALWAYS gets the pay back.
Syd, that teaching gig was going to be our Talladega money. But in the first month with The Group, I got a bonus. There was a SECOND check waiting in our mailbox when we got back from your farm. Between the extra money in the first first check and the unexpected second check, my July bonus exceeded my income for the adjunct gig. How good is THAT? It's ON baby!
Nony, the guy is Teflon. A lot of bad shit points back to him, but he's a lock. The president is a big wuss, and Bully VP is his thug. The two of them are a perfect tandem, and they screw themselves all the time.
