Antiwork

My boss is a toxic person, talks down, gaslighting, accusing.l, takes his moods out on others. In the 2 years with the company my mental health has taken a nosedive particularly since Christmas.Ive been offered a new job but it's taking time to process, where do I stand on taking my last couple of months potentially on sick due to the above. Does it affect references etc.

I was offered a lead analyst job at a place I worked at for a dozen years but had left a year earlier. Week 1 boss is friendly and positive. I’m expected to hit the ground running because of my years of service. Okey dokey. One week later they announce the department is reorganized. I’m no longer the lead, now just one of 9. Ice storm hits and our power is out for 30 hours, I call my boss and take unpaid PTO for 1 day. Weekly Teams meetings with video I notice that I other people have their cats with them.

One of which involves a significant pay cut and loosing my families health insurance due to keeping part time schedule. The last is none. This is a slap…

there is no earthly way that I have to, right? I was incredibly upfront in my interview that I’m disabled, I’m chronically ill, there will be times when I can’t come in. my boss himself has never asked, but I have a supervisor who absolutely won’t drop it and asks multiple times, every time to the point that it’s unbearable. I’ve worked there for 8 months and I’ve only called out 3 times which is like, not absolutely outlandish for someone in my position and I had actually been enjoying a string of good health. In November, I nearly fainted at work and then spent a week in the hospital with sepsis. It makes sense that she would want to know, but it’s also just my business and I don’t always feel like sharing, and I don’t think I should have to. I don’t know if it’s just that she…
