I would say that, in most aspects I'm a good employee. I mostly show up on time, I'm a quick learner, and I'm respectful of my colleagues. I even won employee of the year at the current place I work at. I don't stay late and I don't do extra bs.
Anyways after covid, I started a new job as a store room clerk for a saw mill. I was working under the purchasing officer and was their only subordinate. Generally we got along but every now and then she would blow up about a small mistakes I would make (I rarely made mistakes). For example she would get super pissed if I requested a quote from the wrong company, etc. I was constantly being micromanaged and wasn't given any freedom. Regardless, If she wanted me to do something, I did it quickly and efficiently.
After working my ass off for a month or two I decided I should reorganize the cylinders so they would be easier to keep track of. She wouldn't let me do it on my own and had to watch me while I was doing. We put this off for weeks and I was ready to get the ball rolling bc I was about to get hired on.
So one day she had me triple checking invoices (not her department) against report she had already checked twice. I was the beginning of the month so it's not like this was a pressing matter. It was pretty obvious she just didn't have anything else to do, so I asked her if we could go organize the cylinders. This was a terrible question apparently. Her face got bright red and she said “yeah let's go do that since apparently it's more important”. She was visibly pissed so I back tracked andade it clear that it's not a big deal and we can just wait on it. She refused and said no let's go do it now. I told her it's okay she's the boss and if she doesn't want to do it now or at all I'm okay with that. She then told me damn right I'm the boss and we're doing it now. So we went to the store room and I singlehandedly reorganized the cylinders while she watched with her hands crossed. It was the most uncomfortable situation I have been at work.
The next day we just acted like nothing happened. Fast forward a week later and I tell her that the next day I would be late because I need to pick up my car from the shop. She said that's fine and she'd see me tomorrow. So, I pick up my car but it takes a little longer so I don't make it to work until noon. I walk in and all of my stuff is packed in a box with a shipping label to the temp agency I work for. I just walk in grab my stuff and leave only saying happy Friday. She was so pissed she was ready to ship my shit even tho I told her I'd be there.
I was honestly devastated I wasn't sure I'd find and new job and was just overall stunned by her petty bs. After a week of not having to do mental gymnastics every day to keep her psychopathic ass happy, I realized this was the best thing to happen to me. I would have been stuck in that hell hole for another year or so before I'd actually quit. Fuck her and all the bosses that put people through shit like this.
