I work for a fairly large tech company with a ‘prestigious’ background for several breakthroughs they accomplished in a pretty tumultuous part of the world. I started here right after graduating college and was finally promoted into a higher paying position (that I’m still making 20-40k less than my colleagues on my team because I’ll be ‘training’). On my first day with my new manager, we covered a BUNCH of new topics like :
1. Their (wrong) opinion of trans people
2. Politics
3. Why the US should bomb any Muslim countries in the Middle East…
4. Illegals immigrants and how they should be ‘dealt’ with
I don’t think I need to continue. I have not loved my time here prior to this promotion but a job is a job but I don’t know now. I feel like I can’t go to HR and feel forced to quit even though it’s only a week into this new role. I am having such a hard time even talking to someone who has such little regard for human life and feels free to speak about this in a professional setting. It’s all such bullshit.
