Old Boss called me one day after giving birth, asking when I would be back;

I just discovered this reddit and now it's like “yay finally a place to vent and throw the tea about this moron” – So I worked at a local community bank for 6 years up until this past December. I genuinely enjoyed my job for 4 years…and then Dumb Moron was hired on as our manager. Dumb Moron never did her own work, dated and flirted with multiple customers – every break up caused them to close accounts and leave, and made up her own rules regarding PTO and the like. I was written out for early maternity on bed rest in November 2022, due to having a high risk pregnancy. She was very obviously bothered by this and tried her best my entire last 4 hours there to convince me to not go on bed rest – let's be real it was because I was one of the supervisors…

So I worked at a local community bank for 6 years up until this past December. I genuinely enjoyed my job for 4 years…and then Dumb Moron was hired on as our manager. Dumb Moron never did her own work, dated and flirted with multiple customers – every break up caused them to close accounts and leave, and made up her own rules regarding PTO and the like.

I was written out for early maternity on bed rest in November 2022, due to having a high risk pregnancy. She was very obviously bothered by this and tried her best my entire last 4 hours there to convince me to not go on bed rest – let's be real it was because I was one of the supervisors who did the work she left. December 2022 we welcomed Baby Boy #2 and all was good…for exactly 24 hours in the hospital. The morning after I had my son, on two hours of sleep at 7 in the morning I got a phone call from a local number I didn't have stored in my phone – my son has a liver issue we have been following and half dead me answered thinking it would be the specialist. It was Dumb Moron, I barely said hello on the phone when I answered it because she rushed to say, and I quote, “Someone told me you had the baby they saw on Facebook, congrats, so when are you coming back?” – the audacity. I quit on the spot, and then immediately called HR and left a voicemail with them. The head of HR called me back and then I immediately forwarded everything about her I documented in my email to them. I don't know what became of her, but I 100% hope she got fired. That was just the final straw for me. Here's an example of things she's done over the 2 years I worked for her:

  1. Harassed and Guilted employees who had to call out or schedule PTO. Why? “For not being team players”/ once called off due to my 3 year old throwing up with a fever and couldn't find a sitter – she told me I would have to come in anyway, and I told her fine I'll bring him with and he can puke on the floor. She backed off, but it never stopped her.
  2. Told her staff in both branches to “pick all your PTO days ahead of time but in seniority order – don't let people surprise you with things I won't approve any other requested days unless everyone has their days picked at least 5 months in advance”
  3. Absolutely nothing except sit in her office crying about her boyfriends loudly on the phone, also fought in the parking lot in front of clients with said boyfriends.
  4. Blame her supervisors for account mistakes that she herself made while opening.
  5. Looked up employee accounts and give employees lectures on their spending habits.
  6. Plain and simple, just being a bitch. Talked down to us and yelled for being “not good enough”, “not smart enough” – blamed us for everything when she was the cause of the mistakes. Made us do things out of our pay range and position. Just constant anxiety.

I must say although now I work a part time job a couple days a week, and things are tighter than when I worked full time – the calm I feel is insane compared to when I worked for her.
