Yup, that's what happened! When I quit so I could focus on my education full time, several of my co-workers told me that our supervisor had been trying to find a way to get rid of me because I'm Deaf. I was like, "Figures. His loss."
EVERYBODY was furious about that - he kept giving me the shaft, and blamed me for stuff I wasn't at fault for but "should have caught" and so on. I am SO glad to be gone from there! I would sue to teach him a lesson, except for 2 things: 1. No concrete proof - it's my word against his; and 2., my husband still works there, and he is a vindictive arse.
I'm just sitting back laughing whenever I hear any yummy rumors from my husband (like recently, that supervisor got suspended for a few days for mouthing off at HIS boss over someone else at work)....
