Annual performance review time after I was emotionally abused and intimidated by a hostile coworker since last April and management gaslit me until he did it to another employee too lol

I’m actually the second of three of his team members he’s targeted. We’ve reported him to our boss and her boss at least a dozen times for abusive outburst, yelling and swearing at us when we’re alone with him, throwing things, posturing, just so much aggressive and passive aggressive behavior it’s crazy. Our managers never kept a paper trial and asked US what we wanted them to do about it. With the newest coworker he exploded at they said it was “the most afraid they’ve ever been.” I told them this has been going on for over a year and our boss and her boss keep telling me this is normal and ignoring it. I was told “this isn’t couples therapy” while the male coworker he targeted before me wasn’t told that. My newer coworker went way up to the top of HR and we all went through a retraumatizing…

Rush Hour Traffic and Work don’t mix

Does anyone else get annoyed at work after spending hours in traffic trying to get to work. Like the same thing I do at work I can do at home. So I’m already annoyed to begin with when I make it to work. On top of that I only have like 10k in my checking account. So I’m already annoyed that I’m not rich. Advice on how to stop getting annoyed at my boss and co workers. I get highly frustrated when they tell me what to do to. As if sitting in 2 hours of traffic isn’t enough. And then you tell me I’m gonna get more work load under my belt. How is everybody holding up?

How to quit with no notice

I’ve been at my role for almost 2 1/2 years. I work with kids K-5 and am burnt out, but also cannot stand my boss anymore. I am scared to quit with two weeks notice because of the manipulation and emotional abuse she will do. Our relationship has crossed too many boundaries that I feel stuck at this place. I know doing this will burn the bridge to a reference, and to be honest I’ve been a stellar employee the past two 1/2 years, but I’m willing to give that up. Some examples of the unprofessionalism (I admit I shouldn’t have participated in some of these, but I was young and wanted the boss to “love” me. Bad idea.) Invited me over to her house (while I was working at another job) to drink with her and another coworker. I was underage. She took me out for a birthday dinner…

Check out spineless non-apology from Clearlink’s bully CEO who praised employee for selling dog

It says a whole lotta nothing. The 50 accommodations referenced are only for 30 days for the most part. Also, his brother is the HR director. Clearlink’s parent company Foundever has been totally silent on the entire matter. https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxj574/ceo-celebrates-worker-who-sold-family-dog-after-he-demanded-they-return-to-office

Past Work History to Varied

I was given a call today while I was in the road from an HR department at a company I applied to. She asked why I had left my previous jobs, even though on the application I had stated the reasons. She told me that I have to many jobs over the past three years. I don’t show enough loyalty to my job so she’s not sure if they have room for me at their company. I don’t understand why this woman would take time out of her day to ask me questions she already knows the answer to and to say I wasn’t loyal to companies that weren’t loyal to me. Why must these people insist on wasting people’s time?

Got a request for a CDC position at a local restaurant group, and they wonder why their reputation within the industry starts with “Slave-drivers”

Apparently I'm not a REAL person because I don't want to live at the restaurant, actually want to spend time with my family and, you know, be a DAD. Not worth the 85k salary for 80h workweeks.

Health insurance is such a scam and should not be tied to employment

I have been suffering from a spinal injury since last year, but was primarily bedridden from it during Jan-Mar, with the ability to return to work (WFH) in April with restrictions. Short term disability has been a royal pain in the ass and I haven’t been paid since Feb. They denied my claim from mid Feb on and told me I needed to see my doctor again to be able to appeal. My doctor agreed again that I needed to be out of work during that time and submitted the necessary paperwork. Well, MetLife got back to me and said their own physician took a look at my records and decided I am not eligible for pay. That’s a looong time not be paid, and they made me waste money on a doctor visit! I’ve been paying for insurance through my employer and when I actually need to use it…
