Boss threatened to demote me. I’m already sending my application out

So I started this new job around late January, early February which means at the time of this post, I've been working for 6 months. Not too long. And since this was a job I've never done using skills I've never applied to jobs before, the beginning of this job could get a bit bumpy I made a few minor mistakes/judgement calls in which I always fixed it either within the same day or at the most 2-3 days. Compliance never had a problem with me personally nor did anyone really. Except my boss See my boss saw those minor mistakes and I could tell, kind of attributed to and made it my “original sin” so to speak. As in during supervisions he never let me live it down. Also aside from that he does shit like sporadically scheduling supervisions in which he constantly canceled (sometime 2-3 times in a…


So I started this new job around late January, early February which means at the time of this post, I've been working for 6 months. Not too long. And since this was a job I've never done using skills I've never applied to jobs before, the beginning of this job could get a bit bumpy

See my boss saw those minor mistakes and I could tell, kind of attributed to and made it my “original sin” so to speak. As in during supervisions he never let me live it down. Also aside from that he does shit like sporadically scheduling supervisions in which he constantly canceled (sometime 2-3 times in a row, delaying them by months occasionally which also are supposed to double as my training), Crappy trainings provided by him and unclear and unfair expectations that mostly involved me cleaning up his mess. Needless to say, I don't like him and I don't think he likes me

For example. In the beginning he told me there was this document that he would handle the creation and distribution of that's due by the end of every month. He said “I would handle it” to me. Later on the 30th of the month I get a call asking me “what I was planning to do?” about the document he said he'd handle. Apparently him handling it meant I had to “remind him” it was due and then get other staff to sign off on it as well as psychically intuit when he finished it and submitted it despite him not telling me when it was finished or how to monitor it's completion status

Anyway fast forward to recently he's giving me this meeting in which he's “dissatisfied” with my performance and wants to demote me to an assistant lower version of my current job. Though “graciously” he's considering a “probationary evaluation period”.

Fuck that, I see what's going on and I see what he really means. Fuck him, fuck this company and if I can get this job in the first place I can get it again in a different company. I'm not waiting for his mercy and spending the rest of my time here on the backfoot when I know what he thinks of me. I already started sending out my application, fuck this noise
