I worked as a copywriter at a company I knew had some issues. A lot of people higher up were openly racist, sexist, homophobic people but as a lot of the staff stuck together and were lovely and just managed to do our jobs despite this I stayed on for a year. I’m in the UK and made 30k with no previous copywriting experience, they just accepted due to general writing aptitude and my master’s degree. Recently work got a lot worse, I think 11 people have quit in the last month due to it just being an unbearable toxic environment. My marketing manager quit and they chose not to replace him so not only are we a team member down and struggling, they incorporated us into sales. The sales manager is unqualified to manage us and unpleasant to be around (jokingly repeatedly telling my coworker he should kill himself as he doesn’t drink, generally sexist comments, implied we don’t do any work as he doesn’t understand what we do). I quit on the spot after he said if I ever want commission for the performance of my ads that they have openings in sales. I have been unemployed since and getting rejection after rejection. I just want an okay salary with normal people and enough money for a mortgage deposit, it doesn’t even look like I’ll be able to buy my family Christmas presents. Sorry for the moan but very panicky. I sit on indeed and LinkedIn all day every day and make concerted efforts with cover letters. I’m so worried I should have just stuck it out but I hated being at work every day but I really hate how much I actually needed such a shit job to live
