My attorney told me this morning that I was totally in my rights to contact the person saying I would bear witness to things that never occurred and tell him not to contact me, that I would not serve as a positive witness for him.  Done.

Shithead~

HR called me and told me that you are stating that I am a positive witness to
hostile treatment towards you from M. and that is why I left TD. They wanted
my statement.  Boy.  You don’t know what you are talking about.  You really
should have checked with me first.

My statement regarding your time spent at TD was not favorable to yourself and I suggest you remove me from your list of people to contact as I don’t think you want me to speak on your behalf.  For the simple reason that I will not. You have opened the door for the employer to use me as a witness favorable to them based on information that, once again, you failed to verify.  Your continued practice of stating things as fact that are not fact is not going to serve you well in this matter.

Please inform your legal counsel of this matter and do not contact me in any
way.  I am not interested in participating in your fundraiser.

Sincerely,
Me

Which means “holy shit” in Polish and is stolen completely from Under the Tuscan Sun which is currently my favorite movie.

I sent one final email to HR stating that my first email was my final statement on the situation at TD and that I would not be available for further comment.

SO fucking done. How do I say THAT in Polish?

I come home to this request from the very man I am defending:

Thank you for your efforts and kind words here – I really appreciate that. May I request that you check with HR before sending any material to Shithead? I don’t know what consequences that may have this point and sure don’t want to cause any trouble for you or complicate matters with Shithead…. If they said it is ok, then do as they recommend, but please check first. Im cc’ing HR on this note.

My response, which included all cc’d including HR (who until M’s reply did not have my statement)

Again, say it with feeling.  The HR person called me back.  I can’t believe it.  Her call has nothing to do with me or TVI.  I had to pull it out of her because the interview won’t happen until Monday at 1pm.  It appears there is another HR issue from my old department. Which I knew about but never dreamed it had anything to do with me. Which it doesn’t.  Boy oh boy, do not bring me in to your bs without even discussing it with me.

I should say that while I felt TVI was incompetent and brainless beyond belief, I have the utmost respect for my other colleages. Save one.  And that one?  Is filing a suit against our department, which if he were to win might destroy it completely.  Unforgivable.  And he gave my name as a witness to the abuse he suffered from his boss.  Which I did not witness, quite the opposite.  Wanna read my letter to him and HR?  Talk about burning bridges.  I think I was channeling Jane Austin.  *laugh*  Will it ever end?
