The nightmare may finally be over


I may have gotten to the bottom of the work-based unpleasantness, and I have to give him credit - it’s all down to Ginger Graham.
After Friday’s revelations and repercussions, I decided to give myself the weekend to calm down a bit and think things through. I chatted to Philippa about it and I realised that, although Graham toes the corporate line and is a bit of a toad when his superiors are around, he has always been very fair to me, even when I was behaving (quite frankly) like a prick.
So I printed off all the e-mails I’ve had, and a typed-up account of all the phone calls and messages and exchanges I’ve had with different people within the company, and I asked to see him in his office today. I said “I want to give this company the benefit of the doubt, but I’m getting very angry and I think I have a reason to be..” and I handed him the folder. He spent ten minutes reading through it, looking up at me a couple of times, before saying “Rory, this is absolutely ridiculous”
He immediately picked up the phone and, with me still in his office, went through the whole affair with the head of HR (a pedantic sounding man named Jeffrey)
They both got rather perplexed and embarrassed, and Jeffrey promised to have a thorough look at everything, and speak to everyone concerned, and get back to me.
So now my folder is on it’s way to Head Office in the bag of a motorcycle courier, and Jeffrey has promised to call me tomorrow.
