everything sucks (vent)

i might be being dramatic but i work for a small but BUSY doctors office, and have been working there for just over a year. im in my early 20s and actually dont mind the work sometimes, it can be kinda high pressure and super busy but it comes with its small rewards. however, my biggest problem is my boss. theres so much to tell but i’ll just stick with today today, i get to work and get to what i have to do. when my boss finally arrives, she hovers over my shoulder and demands to know what im doing and my exact process of doing it (this task in particular is pretty time consuming, only because i like to make sure im doing it right) i patiently and politely show her what im doing and explain, she huffs and says “(my name) you just figure it out then”…


i might be being dramatic but

i work for a small but BUSY doctors office, and have been working there for just over a year.

im in my early 20s and actually dont mind the work sometimes, it can be kinda high pressure and super busy but it comes with its small rewards. however, my biggest problem is my boss. theres so much to tell but i’ll just stick with today

today, i get to work and get to what i have to do. when my boss finally arrives, she hovers over my shoulder and demands to know what im doing and my exact process of doing it (this task in particular is pretty time consuming, only because i like to make sure im doing it right)

i patiently and politely show her what im doing and explain, she huffs and says “(my name) you just figure it out then” which left me puzzled as fuck, i dont think she liked my process but its what i was shown to do

not too long after, she pulls me into her office to talk to me

she starts by asking if theres something wrong. i explain im okay, just a little bit stressed. she starts to tell me that shes asking because im not working efficiently enough, the task i have mentioned earlier, is not being done fast enough as shes done them at home (ofc a completely different and totally relaxed environment) and it only took her an hour, so why cant i do it in an hour?

we go back and forth, she tells me we’re overstaffed and that there are too many staff members here and that this super busy office can be run by just two people (theres three of us on big days) and that she doesnt need me here and that she makes our jobs easier by taking some of our work home to do and how shes up every night doing it and we dont thank her for it

so i explain to her that if she feels im not doing my job correctly or that im not a good fit that i can go. suddenly im being hasty and we dont need to talk about that

she then proceeds to tell me that im “incredibly rude” despite the fact ive always been polite and reasonable (quiet, yes, ive never been a super chatty person but i have never been rude.) and that my rudeness must be a “generational thing” (bc again in my 20s) and asked me if i speak to my mother or grandmother the way i speak to her and if they accept that, because IF SO that explains why i am the way i am

im angry so i dip and go back to what i was doing. the rest of the day im arguing with myself on whether its worth quitting and taking the L and leaving and being broke(r) or if i should stay and stick it out

she once was found kicking a pile of folders on the floor like a toddler by one of my coworkers, she watches the phone records and our activity log like a hawk and once got mad at my coworker for stopping work for 4 minutes, she cried to my senior about how stressed she is and pleaded for our help but spent 20mins prior berating us, she constantly tells us how easy our job is and that anyone could so it, promised me when i started she would continue my training and has not taught me a damn thing since, i once watched someone almost have a menty b and then quit within 3 weeks of working there bc of her, and the list goes on

oh and btw shes underpaying me by almost $7 an hour and gives me two shifts a week
