In case you don't read comments...

...well, you should. I won't always take the time (or have the time) to do this. But, as recent updates have appeared in the comment section of the previous post, and as I know not everyone takes the time to read the comment sections... here you go:

Wait, correct me if I understood this wrong, but didn't said friend get fired? And isn't your ex-boss also now your friend's ex-boss? And in that case why is she sending angry, screamy text messages to someone who no longer has anything to do with her? I suppose the answer to that could be as simple as "because she's a psycho," but I mean I find that to be REALLY psycho and almost more plausible that I'm misunderstanding the situation...

Hi ronery friend :)Nope, you totally understand the situation correctly - she is now the friend's ex-boss and is nonetheless sending screamy texts which have since escalated into threatening (as in saying things like, "You don't want this to get ugly") - anyway, friend and I have shown all our text messages to the board of directors, who seem to be considering firing her. Finally! Also, the vice president of the board asked me if I would be willing to come back and work part time if the ex-boss were fired.

Well that's good news that tbe BOD is taking it seriously. Maybe they will give you her job! Sounds like a real psycho so watch your back!And I am glad that the BF told the ex-boss, his mom, to leave you alone and she is complying. But as for him earning points and things in that area looking up - does it really matter if he earns points if you don't love him and when he drinks don't even like him? The problem with an alcoholic is not that they drink, but who they become when they do, and that they can't stop and their promises mean othing, and they are not dependable, and all of their promises and words mean nothing because the alcohol ALWAYS wins! THey don't want it to, but it does. Because that's the disease. Just like a diabetic could promise you that they will control their sugar levels and then be completely helpless to do so.

Wow, that is really great news that the board at least seems to be made of sane people. Props to you and your friend, and to the board! ~ronery

Anonymous - ugh, I know. Things have, for the most part, been really good between us recently, although I know it won't last. Also, this is the last time I ever live with anyone... because it's so much trouble trying to get them the hell out!Ronery - The board is made of sane people, although I'm not entirely sure how competent they are. I'm pretty sure most of them got on the board (they got a new BOD in March) so they could tell people they were on the board, not so they could do much. They've received plenty of information from employees and complaints from the public over the past 6 months, that you'd think they would've done something by now. There have been several times we've all thought "This is it, they'll have to fire her now" and then they don't... so I don't know. I would like to think something will happen now, but I'll believe it when I see it!

I also hope everything goes well with the board. The whole non-disclosure agreement thing bugs me. I don't know anything about the law, but I can't imagine a NDA covers illegal activity. It also seems that an organization which operates almost entirely on public funds should go out of its way to be transparent. Pollyanish thought, I know.

Legally, it doesn't cover keeping one's mouth shut about illegal activity (whistle-blowers are protected!) although she likes to tell people that it covers EVERYTHING, and tells people that saying anything to anyone can result in arrest. Plus, the people who still work there really can't afford to lose their jobs, so either way, they wouldn't say anything. Another creepy thing, the director tried to tell us that signing the NDA also meant that we were not allowed to talk to the board! What BS.
