I was just forced to quit my job. I was confronted publicly and ambushed on the way out telling me I could just quit. I was in front of several customers and fellow employees, when I asked if they were doing this in front of everyone, they retaliated saying they have proof I was talking to other employees about how I was upset.
As far I was aware, there is no rules against confiding in others. I spoke to one person, letting them know that I was putting in my two weeks because I could not take the long lasting abuse. The other person I spoke to was an assistant manager.
In regard to the abuse, it was… constant. Everything I did was incorrect, even if I was told to do it that way. I would be loudly corrected for things, even if I was not doing said thing. This would also be when the manager was not looking at me and walked away when I was speaking. I had already confronted this manger about their behavior and how it was causing me significant depression, which I documented in my application.
In short, is this okay to be treated like this? Am I wrong that I simply did not accept being treated like this? Is treating some people worse, actively, than others on the part of the manager acceptable? And is it acceptable that she confronted me publicly, and rather gleefully, about it and did not even give me an opportunity to think?
Should I make a complaint to the company? Department of labor? Or should I just walk away and try to forget about it?
