Lemons

Last week Jon was let go at work. It was a really sad story but hopefully will be a happy ending. It all started because a travel agent booked a flight from Seattle to Baltimore for a time he was suppose to be on vacation (near Seattle.) The travel agent quickly unbooked the flight...but the damage was done. See Jon's old boss is taking work from the company he works for, they passed on the job by the way but the company doesn't want this guy doing the same kind of work. It's all perfectly legal what he is doing too. Jon and the old boss are friends. So when this paper work of booking a flight to Baltimore (where the old boss's job has business) they assumed Jon was taking his vacation time and working for him. They even called him during our vacation and asked if he booked these flights which he said no. Wouldn't you think the next call would be to the travel agent?? They assumed he was lying so last week they told him he was being let go for "improper conduct" FOR SOMETHING THE TRAVEL AGENT DID! After he talked to them and told them this is a huge mistake the damage was already done but now they are just saying we are terminating the position. This company sucks for one to think that my husband is that dishonest and two for not manning up an realizing they made a HUGE mistake and pretty much rocking our world. We will be fine, it just has been nice having Jon here working from home the past couple years. It's made this parenting thing so much better!
