Howdy! I've posted on here before about my boss and current job, and I'm back again with even more bullshit. It's getting to the point where I feel like maybe I am the problem because of all the shit I've had to deal with at this place and with my boss. To make things short, let me list in bullet points just a few things my boss has said/done that make me want to swan dive off a cliff:
- Threatened the security of my job multiple times but never firing me because then the company might remove my position entirely and she needs the help.
- Told me that my mental illness (depression and anxiety) can not be solved with medication and therapy, that I needed to basically “pull myself up with my bootstraps” and try to think more poSItiVe (or eat better and move around more, which I have been getting better at).
- BONUS: She said that my depression around my job harshens her “vibe” and that it makes her life/job more difficult. I try not to let my co-workers see my depression and stay in my office most the time when I'm feeling really down but I guess that's not enough.
- Got mad at me for taking a break on my new tablet even though I had gotten a lot of my work done, and she had also just went on a break to take a walk and get lunch. But God forbid I do the same, right?
- Told me multiple times that if I hated my job so much, to just quit until I find somewhere I enjoy. Because bills and life don't cost money when you are out of work??
- Thinks I should work on improving my editing/writing during outside job hours since I don't always have time to do so at work, even though my writing is just fine and she's super picky.
I can't think of any more rn. I'm just tired and feel like I'm going nuts. I only make $12.50 an hour here and I work 40 hours a week. I make less than a Starbucks barista and I have a degree for this job.
