Antiwork

Boss shut me down immediately when I started asking questions.

Long story, short: While at work I encountered a situation with another individual, who doesn’t work for my employer, and it made me feel pretty uncomfortable. I asked my supervisor for advice on the situation and told me to handle it like normal and don’t deter from the standard operating procedure. I attempted to explain that I was uncomfortable with the situation but my supervisor just kept interrupting me and rephrased my words to make it sound like I* was the problem in the situation.

Long story, short:

While at work I encountered a situation with another individual, who doesn’t work for my employer, and it made me feel pretty uncomfortable. I asked my supervisor for advice on the situation and told me to handle it like normal and don’t deter from the standard operating procedure. I attempted to explain that I was uncomfortable with the situation but my supervisor just kept interrupting me and rephrased my words to make it sound like I* was the problem in the situation. I repeatedly tried to explain the potential lawsuit we could receive and the questionable legality of the circumstances but I was just repeatedly interrupted and told to go do what I was told. I finally went and did what I was told after a couple minutes of trying to argue further.

The situation left a bad taste in my mouth, and other employees present are upset as well. The only people I could report this to 1. Refuse to answer my calls or 2. Were present. I don’t like the feeling of just swallowing my morals just because I was told to. I want to quit, but if I do my career is probably over and I would struggle financially.

Any advice?
