So…my boss who fired me 9 years ago is coming to my plant tomorrow…


Coming to give advice on a part of our process that we have in common (same raw materials, different product) and, unfortunately, going to be in my department. I don’t have any direct involvement with the visit, but he’s going to be skulking around. At least my current manager found out he was coming over, knew our history and had the decency to tell me.

Run into him a few times since leaving the other plant, never had anything to say to him as I believe he drummed me out because he didn’t like my personality. His comment to me when he told me I was out was “You’re just not a good fit.” Never had any complaints from my peers there, got my work done and know several other folks there have met the same fate. Those I keep in touch with keep asking if any jobs are opening over at my place.

Anyway, any suggestions on how to handle him? Shake hands and tell him how great it is over here? Shut door and ignore him all day? Fart in his general direction? Flaming bags of poo?

Have at it!
