Antiwork

I don’t know if this fits but I need to vent about this somewhere.

My coworker (who I knew held some far right, potentially fascist politics) gave a full-on Pizzagate rant today in the backroom to me and my other coworker. I’ll call the Pizzagate coworker P and the other coworker N. Coworker P had already made me feel uncomfortable on multiple occasions, talking up anti-social justice and borderline eugenicist arguments to me and Coworker N as though they were normal, acceptable positions to hold. I hate the work environment as a result of him. Every time he opens his mouth I feel like he’s going to call me a slur (which, to be clear, he has done on multiple occasions). My boss is complacent with this. I don’t know if he doesn’t know the full scope of what’s happening or he doesn’t care, but either way, Coworker P has his trust, so trying to explain my concerns would go unheard. It doesn’t hurt…

It doesn’t hurt that I’m trans, bi, and closeted about both facts in my day-to-day life, and I really don’t want to have to deal with Coworker P knowing these facts about me. To wrap this all up, I’m worried Coworker N is starting to buy into P’s rhetoric, or at least accept it as a normal, mainstream position to hold. Every time I’ve applied for a different job my application has been ignored, so I don’t know where else to work. I hate this, and I want to quit, but I don’t have a plan on how to do so. I don’t really want answers or suggestions, I just want to scream my frustrations into the void. Thanks for your time if you finished this.
