that's the end of that!

[nanslice]

So I gave my two week notice! And I started to explain why, that I can't handle it when boss gets angry and she interrupted me with, "Well good luck to you! People get mad when you don't do your job!" And so I was like welp, okay. And then I said I would like to work my two week notice and she said that I could walk out the door right then and they'd be fine.

This woman is a fucking child, I swear. So I stayed long enough for them to get their lunch breaks and then I said I was going on my lunch break and I would not be back.

So I talk to the nice vet and we hug and I talk to the vet tech and we hug and I say goodbye to the mean vet. And she doesn't even look at me. And I tell her I'm leaving and she said are you gone for good and I said yeah. And then she said "take my advice. do your job" which was such a bullshit way to get another dig at me and then she says, "no job is perfect" and then I leave because fuck that.

So anyways, I'm now officially unemployed and you know what? It feels alright. XD

Wowww, yeah, best out of there it sounds like.

life isn't supposed to suck

Congrats on escaping that place! It sounds absolutely toxic.

Six years ago I quit a decent-paying full-time job with benefits because the owner was just a terrible person. Among a lot of other things, he had instituted work quotas that were physically impossible to meet while doing our jobs properly, yet people were constantly threatened with being fired when they failed their quotas. (Part of my job was making sure that bills we were sending the government were accurate and that if we were ever audited that we had the paperwork to justify the bills. By turning our jobs into rapid-speed data entry, no one had time to double-check anything and we still couldn't meet his insane quotas.) That doesn't even scratch the surface of all the problems, but it was the one I thought about a lot later on. He also did a lot of things where he deliberately pit departments against each other because "competition is good for efficiency".

So many people tried to tell me that I shouldn't quit without another full-time job lined up. I got a lot of that "no job is perfect" and "everybody hates their boss" stuff. I hate that so many people's responses to "this is awful and soul-sucking and I hate every moment of my day" is just some form of "tough; deal with it."

About six months after I quit, my boss was arrested for defrauding the government. Yeah, those data-entry quotas? Deliberately stirring up interdepartmental feuds? In hindsight, he knew exactly what he was doing. The whole point was to work people so hard that no one had a chance to double-check what he was doing and to keep people mad at each other so no one caught on that he was telling different departments different things.

It's so rare to get that kind of vindication, but even the people who had tried to talk me out of quitting agreed that I was smart to get out of there when I did.

Nothing is perfect, but there's a huge difference between "not perfect" and being psychologically abused at work. And "it was your fault for making me angry" is just classic abuser bullshit.

Woooooow, she sounds like a real piece of work. It sucks that it went down like that, but good for you for getting the heck out of there. :-/

[inkstone]

I'm sorry you're now officially unemployed but I'm glad you're out of there. That sounds horrendous.

[feldman]

Literally throwing a tantrum because you're not going to let her abuse you, still trying to gaslight you even as you walk out the door. What an ass.

I agree with Oldtoadwoman, it only makes me more suspicious that there are deeper and darker layers beyond whatever jollies she's getting from grinding down her assistants.

Good fortune in your future interviews!

[yifu]

Sorry you had to go through that. Hope things will work out soon. <3

[girlofprey]

and then she says, "no job is perfect" and then I leave because fuck that.

Sounds like she knows she did something wrong, she just doesn't want to admit it. At least you're out of it now.

[divinemusings]

*hugs* I'm proud of you for doing the hard thing and what's best for you. <3

[corvidology]

What a piece of work!

You're so much better off being out of that situation and I suspect this is a scenario that will play out over and over again. I also question that the other vet is involved with this "person" after seeing how they treat people.

Again, good for you in getting out of there and I hope something much better shows up for you soon. ♥

[hokuton_punch]

Holy hell, that's unprofessional AND mean as fuck. You're hugely well shut of that place. D:

[lil_1337]

What a bitch! I'm so glad you're free.

[cye_of_the_torrent]

Sheesh. Sounds like the "boss" there has zero actual leadership or management experience and assumes "if I'm in charge, I'm always right and I get what I want" instead of building a team. Sorry the job turned out to be no good, but it really seems like you got out of what was a bad situation.

[zippitgood]

*hugs* I'm glad you're officially out of there and done with that. No one deserves that.

[ai]

Wow, I'm glad you were able to get out of that as quickly as you did! Hopefully it's a kinder week to you.

[ayebydan]

Thank F you are out of there. If possible, I'd now report her ass to every possible level going.

[tropicsbear]

And then I said I would like to work my two week notice and she said that I could walk out the door right then and they'd be fine.

On one hand, what the fuck. On the other hand, fuck it that's two weeks less of bullshit you have to put up with. Glad you're out of there!
