One Letter

My husband retired a year ago. He wanted to work one day a week at the job he retired from. Although he was promised the job, the process moved very slowly. He finally gave up. The place he worked at was very short staffed and although the manager begged for help, the upper management dragged its feet. Finally a year later, after being cited by the state for short staffing, he was called back. The process was still slow moving. After many calls to the manager who was very nice, the job was formally offered. One last bit of paperwork had to be completed. He spoke to the manager on Tuesday and she said she would get it done. When he called the next day, he was informed that the manager was fired. She was the scapegoat for the upper management when the state demanded answers. I feel bad for her. She asked for help and was ignored. Instead of the proper people being accountable for bad decisions, she took the fall. One letter changes our lives. An "H" or an "F". One person was hired and the other was fired.
