You started out with numbers, so that is where I will start in reply to you. The three and a half years you claim as a devoted, active member are hardly accurate. From approximately September 16, 2004 to January 30, 2006, you were at an inactive status. Even while I still recognize the circumstances of the absense, the time you remained a member went beyond understanding the situation. During that time you maintained the status of assistant manager and Executive Officer, even though there were others who advised me to remove you. Did I? Apparently not, though I easily could have after 6 months. Where is your recognition of that?
If you had waited to complete the conversation we had the other day or had contacted me before making this post you would have found that you would have had a chance to change. You shouldn't have judged before you knew all the facts. Beyond that you have had at least two other occasions where, although more delicately phrased, you were asked to improve your grammatical skills.
The reason for your reductioin in status was already explained to you. People respond to information in different ways. Some accept it and some want to get back at others. As a precaution, your status as an assistant manager, not your rank or position, was altered. In the conversation we had reguarding this matter, you assured me which path you would take. No one ever said you had to accept the information with a smile but at the least you could have waited to see what your options were.
You asked what now, well I'm afraid this was the last straw. Since you did not talk to me again, did not wait and see what your options actually were, jumped to your own conclusions and responded in this manner we will be letting you go. There were other ways to handle this situation, unfortunately this is how it went. I understand why you would be upset at the situation, that is normal but now it has gone too far. Our conversation was intended to inform you of the complaints I had recieved and ulitimately give you time to change but obviously it never got that far.
Although you may not have seen it, you were given respect. Respect when you first were Chief of Ops, respect when you were promoted to Executive Officer, respect when I thought issues could be taken to you and you would handle them responsibly, and respect when, during your time of absense, nothing was changed in regards to you and your situation was understood. I'm sure there were countless other times as well. Perhaps none of that mattered to you or you didn't consider it.
