I finally quit my job

I’ve worked at this place for a while now. Back in late January I filed a complaint about an employee who was sexually harassing me. When I spoke with my manager he said “again?” As in it’s happened before, he proceeded to tell me he will talk to the employee and everything will be willy nilly. One day the said fellow employee had made another inappropriate remark towards me so I left (with approval) because I was extremely uncomfortable and all my manager was worried about was if I was coming in the following Monday. I then requested a leave of absence. After my employer refused to give me hrs number I was transferred through 5 different people to reach out to our district representative. I told her everything and she had let me know some things she did not know as my boss didn’t tell her. Two days later…


I’ve worked at this place for a while now. Back in late January I filed a complaint about an employee who was sexually harassing me.

One day the said fellow employee had made another inappropriate remark towards me so I left (with approval) because I was extremely uncomfortable and all my manager was worried about was if I was coming in the following Monday. I then requested a leave of absence. After my employer refused to give me hrs number I was transferred through 5 different people to reach out to our district representative. I told her everything and she had let me know some things she did not know as my boss didn’t tell her. Two days later that employee was fired. When I came back from my leave in early February my boss has since been rude and made comments about my weight said I was the “osama bin laden of work” accused me of being the reason we’re short staffed. But get this guys, he offered me a promotion with a pay raise (which he wrote down on paper) about last month. I get we’re short staffed but this man has me doing everything in the store and when I brought up the pay raise he said he can’t give it to me any more citing corporate was the reason but he still wants me to do the extra work and breakdown the pallets by myself. Keep in mind, all the other staff had a problem with my boss as well but we’re uncomfortable to confront him. His management is poor and he has a lot more people leaving then starting work. What broke the camels back today was him making a comment about me under his breath, I went on my lunch and I just sat there and kept thinking how long I was going to let him make me slip back into my depression and pay me a non livable wage for it. I have been super stressed with my workload as the store was very understaffed and I had to do a lot of everything, I became really depressed over the last two months and have dreaded coming into work. So after my lunch I laid my badge on the table and apologized for the short notice and left. As soon as I walked out the doors I seriously felt like a new person. I don’t regret my decision at all.
