EDIT: I have been planning to find a new job, and have been looking.
If you’ve seen my other posts, you may already know that I vent about my abusive work environment. I’ve been at a job for 4 months, and in that span: I’ve been bullied by the micromanaging CEO, they dumped a second job onto me after firing someone without a thank you or a raise, I got COVID from a super spreader office party that my team got blamed for not having “enough” people at (80 isn’t enough for a small office party and apparently that was our fault) without the CEO saying feel better or ANYTHING, etc. and it is confirmed by other perspectives as well as my own that she targets me specifically. Metrics show that I am doing a great job but I’d always criticism/gaslighting instead of recognizing accomplishments.
Anyway, after an abusive situation on Friday I feel I need a day of PTO because her targeting me again in a team meeting ruined my weekend. And I should spend time applying to union jobs instead of evil corporate environments. But I feel guilty for taking it. I had to take 2 sick days due to COVID, and one other sick day. There were a few days I had to work remotely as well (although it’s a flex environment and multiple people take those flex remote days).
Any tips for overcoming the guilt?
