I had worked so hard for tow years but then a new boss came, and not him but his wife came up to me and told me she thinks I just tell everyone how hard I work and don't actually do anything, I work at an NGO and my aim has always been social service and benefit to the special kids. I was administrative head for two years and under me the NGO gained name and fame all over the city. In fact my name is now associated with it in relevant circles. Our chairman changed and suddenly I am the black sheep to them, I resigned, don't know if I will get another job in new place I am moving to in a month. In fact after my resignation she called me up and told me she didn't mean anything by it and I am so hard working and so good for the institution and etc etc, but I felt it was just a gimmick to make me stay for some more period. The way they want to run this NGO and turn it in to a profit making machine , I am not happy with that decision. I will rather stay home than exploit people. Well future seems so bleak now, tonight...another week and I am unemployed.

It sounds to me like you would have a fantastic resume should you look for work along these same guidelines. I am not familiar with social service work but I tend to think there are a number of services out there that could use someone like you with that kind of background.
Do you have a resume that you could send out to the different services or do you need to work one up? Is there other type work you could do while waiting to make contact?
I am sorry to hear that you and the new administration could not work together. Perhaps rather than resigning you might have been better off going to that new administrator and confronting him. Perhaps you may have been able to work together but now you will never know. His wife had no call whatever to confront you and that was unforgivable of her. I would hope you made clear her part when you resigned.
If you made a name for your organization it would most surely play in your favor for another position. Being an administrative head for two years and making the place better for it should speak very much in your favor.
I wish you well in your search. Just don't give up and you will find it.

What I have heard is she likes people who run around for her and she has been insulting to a lot of people and people are unhappy but are tolerating her quirks. I am glad to be out of the loop though. I am sure I will find something soon, the management is not that good now, all those who love to lick a** are being favored. It was time for me to get out.

Thank you very much for best response. I know that you will be much happier in a new place. No one needs someone to make their lives difficult while they work. We all need to be valued and when we are we do our best work. I wish you the very best in what ever you do.

Your employers were not happy with you for whatever reason and now that you have resigned they want you back. On what grounds do they want you back? Unless the air is cleared going back would not be the best proposition for you.

I agree with you. This could just be some kind of a propaganda to bring you back to their turf.they must have told the wife of the gravity of what she did and well,it is not for her to comment anyway because she is not even an employee of the organization.
As for your decision i can say that if i was in your position i would have food the same thing to prove that i am not worthy of such attitude from someone who has not even seen me work. Do not worry about your unemployment now. Pray and believe in gods plans for you. If will find you a better work, something you deserve and who knows? It May only be a matter of time

Well, being administrative head, I would hope you were making a little bit of money - enough where you were able to put some in savings. That helped me a lot when I was unemployed. Also, you may have some people in those relevant circles that might be able to help you find unemployment a little faster than most. Or at least faster than I did. I was out of work for two years.
Good Luck!

Sorry to hear about that. If I were in your place, I think I won't be able to work that way. While you're doing your best for the company and for the benefit of the recipients of your services, other workers in the company are thinking of making money. Besides, it seems like it's no longer a healthy working environment in terms of relationship witht he new boss. For all you've done for that NGO and the special kids, I hope good karma goes back to you despite what happened. Best wishes!

Its really hard when people dont appreciate the things that youve worked hard for. I think you boss' wife is intimidate by you. Maybe she thinks that you are a threat to his husband's position thats why she said that. to you. Its ok to quit the job. For me whats the point of working so hard if no one appreciates your contributions. Plus the fact that youre stress because of this issue thus it already affect your work. How will you work efficiently if things are like that.

not still happen to me and i wish that it will never happen to me in the future,because if that will happen to me then i will also resign to my job rather than to use my knowledge and my ability in a work that the company will profit on that and not me.
