Hi everyone. I am going to give in my two week notice this Friday for my current job (started in August 2022). I’m really nervous about doing it because I hate confronting people but my partner is moving for residency to a different state and I’m using this opportunity to leave the current city I live (and grew up/born here) and start fresh. I know I did this job for 9 months but truthfully it was one of the worst jobs I had. My coworkers are bitchy and mean and I’ve been their out group with them ordering food without me and treating me like shit and picking up their task. I did a lot of errand work because I was under a 6 month probation and I didn’t want to get fired or get it extended but I’m sick of this feeling of fear of getting fired. On top of that I can tell my manager hates me because of what was mentioned above. It feels like a chore to ask a day off, it seems like everything I do she scrutinizes me for it, like I can never make a mistake. Meanwhile she’s barely here and I can never get work done because I need her approval and she’s just either on PTO or not approachable. I do so much work but I never get acknowledged; just feel like I’m constantly criticized for every mistake. My boss is also a keyboard warrior and I admit I am prone to mistakes but at least be nice about it and help me do the job better. I accept that 25% of this hostile work environment is my fault because I have a very shy, yes sir no sir mentality and I think it really blew on me because I saw someone get fired here 2 months in my job. It completely triggered me. But to be honest, I kinda want to get fired though I don’t think it’s a good choice since I’m trying to get a new job lined up.
I already am planning to take a sick day on Friday if she doesn’t let me take the day off. I have chatgpt write my 2 weeks which I can post a screenshot in the comments. But I feel so scared and nervous about the unexpected. They expected me to be here for 2 years and I’m dipping out so fast. Maybe I’m paranoid but my manager seems like the type who would love to ruin my life. I hate how condescending my coworkers are. I don’t even get paid a lot for the amount of unnecessary stress it involves. I wish they gave me some respect but I feel like they think they can get away treating me like shit all the time. And I blame myself because I feel like I can never talk back or defend myself.
BTW, I work in clinical research, intending to apply to med school in the near future. I work at an academic medical school/hospital.
