Is it just me or has corporate culture declined in the past 5-10 years?
It declined before that
There is always a place for batshit crazy sadists to work. I'm sorry you accidentally wound up in one of them.
Yup. Thanks. I’m glad they have each other. 😒
All i gotta say is fuck managers lol. I know you have a good one now but the good ones seem to be super rare. Especially in retail. Yeah i like working the gig economy for this reason, i dont have to deal with dumbass managers getting in your way.
Im glad you got out of there. Sounded toxic af
Where did you work before and what did you do?
Where you work now and what do you do?
I worked part time in administration for an engineering company. No I’m an event coordinator.
Which job are you narrating about
Did you change one recently?
The one I was fired from in October. The one I’ve had since January is great.
Geeseum! That is absolutely Insane!! I’m glad you lost your job for sure though? Lol!! I had all essential jobs delivering mail through covid so I didn’t have the crazy board crapless people to deal with.
@hearvoices
I viewed Michael Douglas as a hero in that movie. A man who wouldn't take any more shit from society so he fought back. Robert Duvall was a pussy cop in that movie. It would have been better if Michael Douglas had taken out Robert Duvall.
I've worked for so many shitty bosses and companies. I love where I am now.
@jerdanro after that shit experience my bar for bosses was so low. I was just looking for someone who wouldn’t harm me. Honest truth. I’m so lucky to have found a truly good manager. They are rare.
I'm glad you did. I stand up for the people who work for me, assuming they are trustworthy and doing their best.
That is how I operate. I trust people until proven otherwise. I believe in building people up. There is so much to be said for a positive work environment.
@loves2learn
I'm just the opposite. I trust no one unless they show me that they are trustworthy.
@joeblow123 I guess that’s just not how I operate.
Well that all sounds like a bloody nightmare. Props for not going postal like Michael Douglas in Falling Down or something. Glad you found a measure of peace.
And you now know that you are a world class survivor!
Oof that would have had to suck but I'm so glad you were able to come out better for it.
Wow yeah that's so not okay, better off without that job
This was very informative, I'm surprised that you didn't resign sooner
I have a family to provide for
Yeah, but the stress was too much.
I think your cost of living is quite high in your city
I agree about the stress and yes, cost of living is high. The responsible thing to do is find a new job before you quit your bad one. And I had been looking.
Glad you found a better job
Me too!
And a good manager , right?
Yes. She is a really good person. And I have a great co-worker too. We make a good department of 3.
Great
Truth be told if you work like you whine on GaG it's no wonder you didn't hold the job. I mean as parents... irresponsibility put both kids in danger.
Really get a burger flipping job it's likely more in your league.
Wow. That was really mean. Thanks for sharing.
@Still-alive?
Telling someone off on a random forum also sounds like such an important job for you anon girl. just hide behind your mask like a coward.
I emphasize Run!! Loves2learn. I had some of that experience happen to me.
Oh it was he'll I tell ya.
I am sorry you had to go through this, I am glad though you have found a good job.
You have a strong personality hence you were able to withstand all this circumstances.
Sounds like any job i ever worked at lol welcome to the club.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad it's over now!
@loves2learn hugs mum
Thanks hun. Had to get that off my chest. Whew.
My working life is very similar to this and unfortunately for me there is no escape as I am self employed ;)
Omg, that's sounds so bogusand unfair to you?
It was. Life is not fair.
