This will probably be more of a rant than anything, but based on all of my ideologies and this Reddit it just feels fitting to note that the new manager of my job ticks all the boxes of creating a toxic work environment. When someone in that role introduces themselves first day and already calls us a “family” you already know 🤦️ They really emphasized that they’re a ‘people person’ like they just wanna connect with you oh no don’t worry about them looking over your shoulder they’re just trying to connect with you! but but MOST importantly they’re a ‘people person’ (literally said that like 5 times during our end of shift report). They’ve also said some questionable things to a couple coworkers too and just totally blasted our department saying everything is wrong and a complete nightmare apparently(it’s really not) when they were still interviewing for the job and toured our department so they already left a bad impression on us from the start.
Anyways yeah this was just a little rant about them cause honestly it’s day 2, and they’re already starting to get on our nerves lol. It’s just really irritating because I’ve managed to find a GOOD job a decent job with really good people that doesn’t actually make me wanna off myself but now I’m gonna have to jump into the trenches job hunting again because this gig might go up in flames. The only thing I’ll say is I don’t understand why people go into these positions with all the whatever accolades they’ve achieved and yet they don’t fucking know how to talk to people and realize we’re not robots. The last thing these people know is ethics for fucks sake. like yes I’ll do my job I’ll get it done but I am going to do it in the most efficient and comfortable way possible. I’m not gonna slave over it, because once it starts feeling like a chore because of micromanagement then I’m gonna want to leave, and I have. And I’ll do it again
