Have been here for three weeks. Was suddenly thrown into the field with very little warning this week in the middle of shadowing with people and learning the ropes. Anxiety was already bad enough that I was ill twice before I went on my appointment today, and I had already made my decision based on what it was doing to my health.
Boss berated me for 30 minutes over the phone in front of these two strangers. Had to stay an extra hour and use up these genuinely nice people’s time waiting to get in contact with someone so I could close everything out. Immediately went back to the office and dropped off my company materials and my resignation letters (Boss wasn’t there) and got confirmation from two people within ten minutes that this has happened before and will probably happen again. (Specifically to women, as I heard from my coworker, the only other woman in the office other than me.) The guy who helped me with my things encouraged me to reach out to HR and I’m definitely considering it.
Just feeling really validated and secure in my decision that I got out of a work environment where some people let that happen! And I won’t have to lose hours of sleep due to anxiety anymore. And I’ll be able to make it to my sister’s birthday on Saturday!
