Antiwork

I’ve been told quitting with no notice would ruin my chances of future employment. I need opinions and support.

I don’t even know where to start with this. I feel so desperate and frustrated. To start with, I started a new job six months ago. Nothing we discussed has been delivered in terms of direction, workload, and continuous improvements. I have no work to do and am incredibly bored all day so I’ve been actively searching for a new job. The person who has been training me has apparently decided that I’ve been here long enough and she doesn’t need to be polite with me anymore. She yells at me, talks over me, and doesn’t listen when I speak to her. It’s obvious because she will ask me to repeat myself three times and not look at me. She gives me contradicting information and then tells me that my attitude is making her job hard. Which, yeah, I’ve had attitude but I feel like anyone being berated and spoken…

She gives me contradicting information and then tells me that my attitude is making her job hard. Which, yeah, I’ve had attitude but I feel like anyone being berated and spoken down to would as well. I’ve been on the fence, but with how verbally abusive she’s been, I’m leaning toward the fact that I can’t give two weeks notice. She is difficult to work with now, I can’t imagine two weeks with her after the fact. The issue is my friend told me I will have difficult time finding future employment if I just quit because I won’t be eligible for rehire. Is that something that is actually checked? Is my sanity worth two weeks?

Note she is not my supervisor. I have spoken to my supervisor on a separate occasion and it sounds like her behavior has been an issue in the past. She’s been here a long time so I am not banking on anything actually being done about it. It’s to the point I almost called out today but I had to remind myself I have bills to pay and dogs that like to eat.

Thank you for making it this far. Any thoughts or even some support would be appreciated.
