I used to LOVE my job as a copywriter. With my old boss.
I’ve got a new bitch boss about 3 months ago and she is a NIGHTMARE. Overachiever perfectionist who fired 2 people in the her first month. They were GOOD employees, but she said they didn’t take the company TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
Sorry if I’m repeating myself, I think I made a post here about this already but my blood is boiling. I worked from home today and as usual, it’s like a message every hour about the littlest fucking details and it seems that she is rephrasing everything just for the sake of it.
She is GOOD at her job I must say, but the work environment became so STRESSFUL and I don’t know how long I can take this. I’ve been a copywriter my whole life, and this type of job is quite hard to find where I’m from. And I love my tasks. But the constant messaging, the constant comments about the smallest details, bitch, CHILL OUT.
She will probably indeed take the company to the next level but my nerves are getting stretched out thin. I was already an alcoholic and addict before her arrival, and not to blame her entirely, but I noticed a very dramatic increase in my self-destructive ways since she got hired.
I can’t quit because I wouldn’t have unemployment benefits, but I don’t want to get fired either because how could I explain this to my next employer.
Honestly, I feel like flipping out and I scream at my screen all day long when I work from home. I almost jump out of my skin 8-10 times a day when I hear the sound of a new notification.
What used to be the best and easiest job in the world turned into a nightmare. I’m in self-destruction mode and artificial paradise mode because reality became too much too handle. I DON’T HAVE THE NERVES TO KEEP UP WITH THAT PERFECTIONIST BULLSHIT.
