Keeping this short and sweet since my workday is about to begin. I have been at my job for 7, almost 8, months. The work is not challenging but it’s repetitive and draining. Actually, the amount of work is the challenging part. Just when you think that you’ve done your tasks and can have a break there’s more to do. I went across the country to have a break on my “unlimited” PTO and since I’ve been back I don’t want to work there. I think the quality of life in my city and at my job sucks and overall it’s a waste of my time and energy. I didn’t relay this to the company but my manager has been very annoyed with me for wanting to use sick/pto even though I have it in the bank and irritated with me for small things. I declined a work event because of how she spoke to me and a week or two later got hit with a surprise PIP. I have screenshots that prove it’s a load of BS but I don’t really care to fight it. They’re offering me severance (4 weeks) but I don’t think I should change anything in the next 30 days. I’m in my 30s, my colleagues in the same role as me are in their 20s. I feel like I’m too old for the “yes boss, whatever you say boss” stuff they want me to do. Camera on all the time, doing extra work, extra tasks and projects. Am I wrong for being happy about it? I’ll get unemployment, finally finish writing my book, maybe do some coding/tech certs and get my stuff together. I almost feel bad since HR asked if my relationship with my manager was salvageable but I won’t work with someone who abused my trust or can’t speak to me like an adult. I’ve had great supervisors and sucky ones, but I can’t deal with getting fussed at for asking for sick time so I can get my prescription glasses.
