My job is great. It’s the highest paying job I have ever had and there are so many benefits that I feel extremely lucky to be in this position. My problem is with my coworkers.
From my first week of training, my trainer aka my supervisor made many inappropriate comments. She made comments about my weight along with racist and transphobic remarks. While they all weren’t directed at me, it was still upsetting. My coworkers also make incredibly inappropriate jokes about clients. I held all of my frustrations in for a month as I’m the new girl and didn’t want to rock the boat.
I ended up reporting my supervisor to HR who told my Director. Director then told supervisor. Supervisor then pulled me aside for half an hour to tell me that she’s sorry that I feel this way and that I shouldn’t take things so seriously. She also mentioned that she didn’t go and snitch to HR or a manager about things I’ve said (I asked why a coworker was allowed to be rude and behave so nasty) and then ended her “apology” with “I’m not losing my job because I’ve proven myself to be a valuable asset” which was not my intention.
Shortly after, I was scheduled 10 days straight. No one replies to my questions in our work chat when I need help, and they isolate me from discussions or meetings. If I make mistakes, the person reviewing my work is usually scoffing, rolling their eyes and sighing and never gives me the feedback I need to improve.
I could go on and on about the ridiculous things I’ve put up with as I’m approaching my three month mark. But this is by far, the worst work environment I have ever been in. I know there will be bullies or ignorant people at every job but this is just something else.
My manager quit about two weeks ago. She packed her stuff up after a meeting and stormed out. She started a month before I did. Per her email the next day, she was being verbally abused, belittled and harassed by our director. When she stormed out the day before, she claimed that the director of HR was blocking her from leaving!
Typing this on my lunch after an hour of back to back calls to our department because for some reason, everyone else went on lunch. Ha, actually I’m being called to go back in early because everyone is leaving at 2. Our office closes at 6. Fun!
