I have never posted before on reddit, but I felt I wanted to share my experience with you all. I just left the job of my life 3 months ago, but not because I wanted to, but because I had abusive and disrespectful bosses. I think its important to provide the context and start from the beginning. So I had a trip planned for the first week of April to visit my grandfather in Florida for heart surgery. So I saved up vacation time for months to take the week off in Florida. Around the first week of March, my supervisor announces that she is leaving (coincidentally) the first week of April for a new job, so, me being the people pleaser I am, I told the team I would work from Florida during that week to attend all the meetings she was going to attend. I didnt really get to spend the quality time with my grandfather that I wanted to, working from his house the whole time. I come back from Florida, and my workload doubled, I went from having 4 data projects to a week to 8. I did this for about 3 weeks, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th week of April. At this point, I hadnt taken a day off since Christmas, and additionally was severely burntout from the work overload. I would sleep 8-9 hours a day and still wake up feeling tired. I told a colleague of mine that I didnt feel I was getting the necessary support from my director (who was now my supervisor) after the middle manager left. Well my colleague decides to go and tell the director I say that, and LO and Behold, the director calls me into a meeting with HR, yelling at me, humiliating me, gaslighting me, and presenting me with a PIP that had vague subjective goals (1. X has been meeting all his deadlines but the team has low trust in him, he will continue to build trust with the team, 2. X has been overcommunicating on teams vs email (will work with him for when to communicate on teams vs emails) (Of course when my manager was there, I would barely contact my director). She gave me 2 days to sign it, that night I spent 3 hours crying in the shower, felt worthless, humiliated, betrayed, and resented my director. At that point I was not only so burntout, but also felt emotionally, verbally, and psychologically abused/broken, so the next morning when I was supposed to sign the PIP I wrote a 4 page letter of resignation (something I had never done before) documenting all the times they treated me bad in the organization, disrespected me, didnt value me or praise me for my work, and resigned then and there on the spot. While it felt like a huge relief at the time and felt like my gut, intuition, heart, and soul told me it was the right decision, for 3 weeks afterwards I developed severe PTSD, depression, anxiety. I felt lost, hopeless, and worthless. Like my life turned upside down, from employed to unemployed. From having a set schedule 8-4 everyday to no schedule. I say this to you all because, it taught me valuable lessons, learn to say no, speak up for yourself, set boundaries, take the time off when needed before it gets too late, and always prioritize yourself and your mental health first. Being a people pleaser and saying yes all the time only leads to burnout, depression, and regret.
