I just quit a counseling place In NJ that specializes in addiction. I needed the hours to graduate. Just 100. Anyways, the woman who worked there was openly transphobic to her young, impressionable client. Mind you, I'm supposed to shadow this clown. Her client is (17) and i have no clue why she said to her “yeah I'm gay, but i don't fuck with that weird trans-shit)
I won't get on her case for speaking in AAVE cause it's not the issue..it's her mentality and how she speaks to kids. There's a line between acting in a way they can relate and being an adult. That's how she feels ? fine, why bring it to work?
I ask for a half day to apply for a job because i wasnt working a real paying job due to a previous surgery. She got annoyed and asked me why I'm applying for a job if I was interning here? And said “do you want a job or a career?” Lmao, I live alone with no family and pay 1200 a month in rent + utilities. So, by her logic my savings should run out so I can live on the street just to dedicate myself to a 100 hour unpaid internship ??? Bitch I just want my degree. Its my last step? I explained that and she must have some kind of comprehension issue because she got an attitude and said they can't pay me. No shit just let me get a paying job?
My last straw was her being loud and taking personal calls where she gossiped about eveyone in the program.
I'm glad I found a better place and have like 10 hours left.
Nobody stands up to her and when I complained to Two “higher ups” they literally ignored me.
Edit: she's like 55 years old
