GC's Discipline

Date: 8/13/2023

X and I meet with C&J to try and settle the backlog of grievances. The first they bring up is GC's omnibus discipline letter for poor performance. They offer $4K. The grievance is years old and neither J nor C were working here then. Even I can't recall the full details, but I remember there was one allegation GC was adament about having removed. I ask for a break to go talk to GC and we agree to meet back in 30 min. GC is on the same floor. We walk to the big open office area for student services. Office workers from long ago greet me fondly but they are nervous about who I might be looking for. "Stop looking at me like I'm a Disease," I joke, and they laugh nervously. I find GC at the back and we step out in the hallway to talk. We go to the new cafeteria. It is so clean and modern! I buy a muffin and add a bottle of water at the til. $2.15. I give the attendant a $5 bill from my wallet. I have many small bills. He slides the change into a clear, zippered pocket of my laptop bag, which seems a bit forward. X, GC and I get split up and lost in the maze of hallways and doors heading back to HR. We keep finding and losing each other. I have to use the washroom but they are all thewrong gender here. Grace is not going to take a settlement. She is still very hurt by the letter. She demands to know what Mario was doing outside with the muffin and why they blamed her.

This may reflect the dreamer's struggle to fully remember or understand the details of a past conflict. When the dreamer seeks a break to talk to GC, it indicates a desire for clarification or further information regarding the situation. The location where they meet, a big open office area for student services, could suggest that the dreamer is seeking guidance or advice from someone who is more experienced or knowledgeable.
