I called a woman who revenged fired me out and she went crying to her pastor!

In May, 2015, I got the best job I have ever had in my life. I had been retired since 2009 from a place where I endured 5 years of workplace bullying. I was 50 and so happy to have this fantastic new opportunity. It was a church secretary position, 3 miles from my house, part time, 4 days a week. I worked my tail off just as I had promised I would if I got the job. If I felt like something wasn't good enough, I did it over. I did not get enough training for the job (2-3 weeks). In October, 2015, this woman who had a beef with my husband became my supervisor. She began setting me up to fire me. I can see that in hindsight now. She waited until January, 2016, to blindside me by terminating me. I never got a reason why. I also never received an employee handbook so if I was doing something wrong, how was I to know? I never thought to ask for one. It had been years since I had worked and it just never crossed my mind. This "Christian woman" destroyed my life! One day, I wrote her a letter and told her that I knew why she fired me (to get revenge against my husband) and a few other things. It felt good to get it off my chest. Guess what I got in return? A LETTER FROM THE PASTOR OF THE CHURCH WHO HAS KNOWN THIS WOMAN ALL OF A YEAR (I have known her for over 20 years!)! I did not bother to even read the letter! So this woman can't even handle her own dirty work?! She has to go to her pastor to do it for her when he doesn't even know the whole story?! Does anyone besides me think this woman is NUTS?!

She's not nuts...she's a sinner who truly needs to repent and make it right with you, the pastor, and mainly God! You do whats God expects if you which is to forgive and trust him for another job if working is still your desire. Pray for the woman even though she did u wrong cuz God said to love our enemies ( that's if u r a Christian cuz I don't know if u were working for your own church). If she is a true Christian ( many aren't but think they r cuz they attend regularly) she will repent as David did.

I know losing your job was a belittling experience and it was done at the hand of a woman with a vendetta. I think you just need to let it go and move on. I'm not sure what you want your fellow Jobcasers to provide here.

Read the letter from the pastor and close this chapter of your life. You can't fix her and trying to get an apology or whatever your goal of sending the letter was, is futile. Be the better person.
