Now that jobs are easier to find and moving from job to job with a short tenure seems common, it is easier to leave a job in flames. Leave the job telling everyone who will listen how terrible your manager was or call out coworkers who made up lies about you.
Back when I was younger, years ago, I was treated horribly by some of my supervisors and coworkers but I sucked it up and just put up with it and looked for another job more aggressively. I did not want to create any waves and have the potential to get a bad reference or have an employment termination on my record. So I let my bosses and coworkers bully me.
I always dreamed about submitting a formal grievance against my boss or writing a poison pen email to everyone in the company naming names and telling everyone how terrible it was working for Mr. Johnson.
Move forward to 2022 and a new job market and economy. Would you- have you- left a job in flames by telling everyone how terrible you were treated or maybe even submitting a formal grievance? Tell us your story!
