At first, I liked my job for about 8 months until we were forced to move to another location and merge with some toxic coworkers and bad managers in that location. At the previous location, I was working hard, always showing up on time and did my job. Was even about to be promoted until we had to move. At the new location, we were met with bad management and a toxic work culture. Me and a lot of coworkers(from the previous location) hated it. The promotion I was about to get was out the window and the managers were bullshiting about a promotion. They hired new people to take those positions instead of promoting the people who's been there for a while.
Strict policies also led to people being fired. Hell, someone was fired for being a minute late from their break. When I tried to work and do my job efficiently, the managers and supervisors always had something to say. But another person did less and always slacking to the point we have to do his work for him. He's now in talks of a promotion and gets employee of the week twice just because they like him and hang out with him outside of work. At this point, I knew I wasn't going to move up the ladder.
Favoritism, bad management and a toxic work culture was seriously affecting my health physically and mentally. It was so bad that I was going to work angry and fighting back tears. So I quit. Initially, I thought I was making a mistake because I didn't have a job lined up first. But after some time and a talk with family and friends, I'm proud that I stood up for myself and not let them break me. I haven't felt this relieved and happy since prior to the relocation.
Me and my other fellow ex coworkers wrote bad reviews for them on Indeed so they'll struggle to get people to work for them lol. I have money to survive while I'm looking for a job so I'm not too worried. I can say for sure, I'm glad I'm not at that piece of shit place no more and I can start a new chapter in my life.(Sorry if the post is a little long… I had to vent lol)
