Uh, OK...

As I mentioned on the post of the 15th I handed in my 2 weeks notice at work. The letter that I gave the owner/doctor was pretty tough to write and, I imagined, tough to read. Here is the final paragraph of the letter...

As I see it, the only way for you to reverse this trend is genuine repentance, asking the entire staff’s forgiveness, humbling yourself, and getting a group of Godly men who will hold you accountable to treating your employee’s well and not letting the love of money control your heart, mind, and behavior.

I have waited for a response since Thursday. This afternoon I received this email from the owner:

Subject Line: Thank you for your kind letter

Message:
Dear Pete,
Thank you for your letter.
I accept full responsibility for all problems that have arisen. I have asked Karen to help me set up a transition team for you to work with over the next 2 weeks.

----------------------------------------

On one hand I am glad for the response. On the other hand it feels a bit weird. I wouldn't characterize the letter as "kind". They weren't problems that "arose" they were people who were hurt, promises that were broken, and confidence that was lost.

Time will tell if there will be genuine change. I hope that things do get better for the staff and environment there. I truly want the best for all involved.
