Need a moment to rant. Title is pretty self explanatory but for some context, I tried to quit 4 months ago, but my boss begged me to stay and convinced me with a new role (if I quit, it's the end for all of us). However, the new role did not start til this week. I'm burnt out. Things have slipped and people are complaining. I'm not doing it on purpose. Last week, my boss said they're concerned how my performance is reflecting upon upper management. Betch! It's their fault! Fire me. Puh-leeze! Fire me! I would be relieved. I have support and resources to be jobless for months, but even then, I know I'd have a new job within 4 weeks and I'd enjoy the bonus vacay. Shut up and pray that I don't end what's left of us for good. End rant.

I had all I could take today, I’ve given my immediate supervisors that are above her every chance I could to correct her behavior, but she won’t stop using the r word in front of me, won’t stop trying to provoke me any time she gets. Today was the straw on the camels back. One of the co workers asked me if I liked this person and I straight up told her no because of the way that I’ve been spoken to in the past by her (Criticizing your employer is a protected activity in my country, and you cannot be retaliated against for doing this.) After this co worker snitched on me that shift manager threatened to retaliate against. I finally filed an EEOC complaint due to the threat and I’m fixing to look into other legal options.

I’m 20 years old and had this job job for a little over two months. My job before it was a warehouse job and I got a lot of experience in that for two years. I had an interview for another job today but I’m just don’t think I can stick it out at my current job any longer. I do have money to fallback on so that really isn’t the problem. The only problem is worrying about the future of employment.
