And I probably won't be giving any medical treatments.... Honestly, I feel like the thing I'll be at risk for is TB, and nobody's giving me a vaccine for that.

meara, I sent an email to my HR rep asking if an announcement would be made today. I did not type anyone's name, any position, or even any location.

She wrote back that changes were not finalized and it would be next week, but did I have any specific questions or concerns.

I wrote back, Next week will be fine and then jokingly (I thought obviously) I said I guess I'll report to myself until then.

I don't know that she called my boss directly, but he knows I emailed her about the changes. and he is PISSED.

That's absurd.

Why would she do that? I hate when people are just stupid.

But it's also stupid for the boss to be mad about it! You know he's leaving, of course you wonder about what's next!

Oh FFS. There are things you need to know. And I would definitely have a follow up conversation with the HR rep.

(And find out what she actually said - if she said msbelle is concerned about not having any details on what happens next, and he's flipping out, that's on him, not HR.)

SERIOUSLY!!!

1) he did not tell me it was confidential - the part about him leaving. He told me "today is my last day here".

I was just supposed to KNOW that he was sharing that with us in confidence. THE DOOR WAS NOT EVEN CLOSED IN HIS OFFICE.

2) I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ASK HR QUESTIONS!!!

3) FUCK EVERYONE!

my only hope is that I somehow have jeopardized him even staying with the company.

I think as soon as I officially have a new boss I am making an appointment with the VP of HR. and that chic is going to get an angry phone call.

Wait, you mean HR possibly didn't know??

He told me "today is my last day here".

Which you'd have to assume other people would notice, since he was cleaning out his desk!

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ASK HR QUESTIONS!!!

Exactly so.

No, HR knew, he just wasn't supposed to say anything.
