Antiwork

I put in my 2 week notice and my boss is trying to make me suffer through them.

My 50+ conservative, male boss has made my(24F) life hell since I started at the company. I was hired through a family member reference to train and be promoted in a financial institution. At the time there was only one other person similar in age and also happened to be female working here. She trained me and eventually became upset, feeling as though we were in some sort of competition. Since she was closer to our coworkers and my relative worked in the company, many team members made little effort to interact with me out of fear and due to drama started by my trainer. Throughout my training I was belittled and had a lot of mansplaining experiences or was disregarded by my superiors. They had no formal training or information. It was basically “we need these docs. Idk where the guidelines can be found. Good luck.” Eventually, I became…


My 50+ conservative, male boss has made my(24F) life hell since I started at the company. I was hired through a family member reference to train and be promoted in a financial institution.
At the time there was only one other person similar in age and also happened to be female working here. She trained me and eventually became upset, feeling as though we were in some sort of competition.
Since she was closer to our coworkers and my relative worked in the company, many team members made little effort to interact with me out of fear and due to drama started by my trainer.
Throughout my training I was belittled and had a lot of mansplaining experiences or was disregarded by my superiors. They had no formal training or information. It was basically “we need these docs. Idk where the guidelines can be found. Good luck.”
Eventually, I became a pro at it, despite my less than adequate training and tools.
The receptionist was bitter that I was young and in a better job title or didn’t know what I was doing without any experience. She targeted me often and would refuse to add my supplies or lunch orders to the lists.
Many people began remote work, which I was told im not approved for. I was promised training, reviews and raises. None of which occurred.
These days I’ve been the only face in the physical location and make less than average for the job.
Did I mention the constant inappropriate sexual comments, the purposeful embarrassment, the unrealistic expectations without resources to help, the constant change in responsibilities, the new hires to take the position I was training for, the trainer quitting abruptly, the receptionist retiring, me taking both of their job responsibilities as well as my own and still being underpaid and reprimanded for things I was never asked to do or not do? No rules or requirements were set. Figure it out. So I did. After watching coworkers spend hundreds on the company card for drinks and food during their personal celebrations for birthdays and traveling to beaches, while being “online” and not working at all, I’ve become resentful. Very much so.
Another example of an absurdity which occurred:
I brought my dog to a sitter in the same building, we have apartments and business suites here. Manager noticed I had said dog at the location, in a different area of the building, and yelled, full volume, in my face, in front of the entire office. His friend (50+ M) who works here on occasion just had his 2 dogs in OUR office for an entire day of work. This only scratches the surface.
I’ve submitted my notice of resignation. Since then, my manager has micromanaged everything I’ve touched, insulted and criticized me, and made false claims relating to my job and history. They are somewhat subtle and he tells me he’s doing me a huge favor while doing so.
The only other person treated similarly was the other female under 30 who quit.
Should I do anything before my last day since I doubt there will be an exit interview? Or should I be happy to leave and remain quiet about everything? If a harmless, sarcastic joke was played would it be so bad? Apparently they love to laugh here, especially at the expense of others.
