CW: verbal abuse

[nanslice]

So in the past three days, my boss has said, "I don't know how to fucking help you," "I'm going to be watching you and I'm going to make sure everyone else here is watching you too," and my favorite, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

I'm going to be putting in my two weeks notice on Monday. I have made mistakes at work, yes, but I don't deserve this. She is completely incapable of reining in her temper and then expects you to just be fine with it (one thing she's said to me was "You can't get all butthurt about things"). And I'm not. I'm deeply not. I managed to keep it together today until I was driving home and then I pulled over to have a panic attack. It was bad.

Things are going to be pretty tight around here financially. My sister is going to let me go back to work for her but she can't guarantee me hours, which. :| I'm looking into some online stuff to try and supplement that. Maybe offering art commissions? I don't know.

I'm trying not to be too down about this (and also feel too panicked about working the two week notice) but it's hard. I'm sad. :

Oh, geez. D: Yeah, that's definitely a situation you're better off out of - good luck with finding something new and better. *hugs if wanted*

[girlofprey]

Oh God, I'm sorry dude. I know you were really happy about getting that job. That sucks :(

[yuuago]

Oh man, what an absolute ass. D: I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
Good luck with finding new work. <3

[cye_of_the_torrent]

I'm really sorry that the job didn't work out, but I'm glad that you're getting out now before things get worse. It sounds to me like your boss does not have the skill set to create a decent work environment at all. Again, sorry it didn't work out and I hope things get better soon. :( <3

[riventhorn]

That behavior is absolutely unacceptable. I'm glad you're leaving but it sucks that it puts you in a financially difficult situation.

[rionaleonhart]

Your boss sounds awful and I'm glad you're getting out of there, but I'm really sorry about the position this has placed you in. Good luck. You've made a hard decision, but it sounds like the right one.

[all_choseny]

Your boss shouldn't be talking to you like this. If your company has an HR department, I would file a report.

[umadoshi]

That is awful and unacceptable. ;_; I'm sorry things played out this way.

[tropicsbear]

Your boss is being VERY unprofessional and I'm so sorry that you had to work with her *hugs if you want them*

I hope you find something new soon!

[adafrog]

WTF? {{{hugs}}}

[feldman]

What an ass, seriously.

In my experience, the fact that it's so egregiously unprofessional in a short time, and escalating this quickly, means there is no best case scenario for staying there. And also that the other staff and management in that place know it's a problem but either can't or won't take action. Maybe they'll mention "difficult personalities" or "we're looking for the right person" to the next round of interviewees. And the next.

I'm sorry this puts you in a bad place financially, and I hope you can get that sorted soon. Better now than when you've been worn down by this petty bully. *hugs*

[zippitgood]

Oh man. I'm so sorry you're dealing with that. A bad work environment is sucky especially with no signs of improvement. I'm super sad that what started as such a good happy thing will be ending this way. I hope those two weeks fly by for you.

[ukefied]

Wait, where the hell do you work? (I am only sporadically checking DW these days). That kind of behavior is unacceptable and mistakesthat cause no one harm should be training opportunities. WTF

[schneefink]

Ugh, sucks that your boss is an asshole, you deserve so much better than this. Good luck finding it!

[shanaqui]

Urrgh, this sounds like a horridly toxic situation. Good going on deciding to leave! It is important to protect your mental health.

[itsamellama]

Oof I'm so sorry that happened... but I'm glad you're getting out of it ;;

I do online work - generally 2 hours a week, but they often have overtime. You do need a Facebook and an Instagram account. The only thing you need to be aware of is that it is contract work so they don't take out taxes. https://connect.appen.com/qrp/public/home

Are you planning to talk to your supervisor's boss? What she is doing is not okay and it is grounds for a hostile workplace lawsuit.

[redsixwing]

Hooooooly moly. I hope you find something else quickly. There's no call for that sort of behavior.

[corvidology]

This is just fucking awful. There are ways professionals talk to each other about things, even when they have issues and THIS IS NOT IT!

I remember when you got this job there was more than one owner unless I'm remembering it wrong. Is there anyway to talk to the other one about this?

If not, when you give in your two weeks notice try to be clear as to why. That way, if they step across the line again you can just walk away right then with a clear conscience.
