Throw away because I’m afraid of my boss linking this to me. But I need somewhere to say it. And please know that I’m a human being with severe anxiety that’s only trying my best.
My job and my boss are harming my mental health. I can’t take it any more. One moment my boss will make backhanded comments to humiliate me in front of my coworkers. The next she’s calling herself my mom and telling me she loves me. She’s confided in me about things that employers shouldn’t discuss with their employees just on a regular basis. (SA, marriage problems, etc.) She bad mouths me to my coworkers behind my back and will sometimes call me names to my face.
I am terrified to make a mistake. But I’m equally terrified to ask her for clarification because she’ll talk to me like I’m an idiot who is inconveniencing her. There is no one else I can report to and she gets upset when I speak to my coworkers for longer than 10 seconds.
I’m completely confident in saying that I’m a great employee. I show up on time, I make people laugh, I help/oversee new people, and I make great sales. But every few months out of the blue I become my boss’ punching bag. I’m not going to put up with it any more. I’m applying to new jobs like crazy because I finally realized I deserve better.
TLDR: My boss is horrible and I’m finally looking for another job.
