Tw: brief mention of suicide
It's been a nerve-wracking week. For clarification, I work at a college campus overnight. I keep watch of security cameras and make sure students at the dorms sign in after a certain time and arrive at their rooms safely. It's been a super rewarding job, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Except around three months ago, I was moved to a different dorm due to my previous manager retiring.
My new manager, let's call him G, started out alright. He was polite and seemed enthusiastic about my starting there. But this attitude quickly devolved to the complete opposite. He lives on campus, and his room just so happens to be directly across from me. He started urinating with his door open, which I tried to just ignore at first, but the offence list quickly grew.
He then got more comfortable leaving his door open period, and loudly shouted obscenities at his TV while playing video games, including telling people to kill themselves with me in ear shot. My spouse and MIL have been really pushing me to report him so I can move posts, since I started dreading reporting to work. He even started mumbling things under his breath when I did something wrong, and instead of communicating would just slam his door or stomp around the office waiting for me to notice.
Has anyone had a similar experience and reported their manager? I've been so incredibly anxious and worried I did the wrong thing.
Good news is, I emailed the supervisor and I've been moved to another dorm. I hopefully won't have to deal with him ever again. The supervisor also claims he spoke to G about his behavior, but I doubt it will fix things. At least I'm out of there.
