I had a terrible experience over the weekend. Someone under the influence attacked me with a machete but I was able to disarm them and gain control of the blade. I suffered cuts, bruises and am sore all over.
The next morning I made some calls after less than 3 hours of sleep to get things going and had to connect with work to get some time off. In their usual operating efficiency they managed to fumble that royally and then asked me to directly talk to my boss. I did. Leave granted for 3 or so days with a reminder to come back Monday. Ok whatever. I will try to rapidly heal.
Get a text like 20 min later from my boss to help figure out some work related issue as I am the only one in house who does the job. It took a lot of willpower to restrain myself from verbally ending them. More importantly than that, the task they were asking info on is nowhere near important on any scale in the known and unknown universe. Its a supplement we share with our teams that at best is seen by less than 5 people.
I have been on the fence with this company for a while because I do the job of 5 specialized people but get paid less than any of them. I have been able to make peace with the attack but not this, its all I think about and why I had to be subjected to that in the morning while panicking and trying to treat my wounds.
Now, I have to see their miserable, deranged, psychotic face everyday till I find something new and at this point I am seriously considering blowing the lid on everything. They are a bunch of abusive and egomaniacal fucks who only worship titles, paycheques and skin color and treat people like dirt and then hide behind masked threats.
Big company although “management” will constantly tell you that they are a small company. Canadian.
If anyone has any advice on how to navigate this, please share. Thanks for reading.
