Toxic workplace experience from college

Junior year I was an RA in a freshman dorm at my college. My RD (boss) already didn’t like me for whatever reason (he likes to pick favorites so maybe that’s it?). Well one day one of my residents approached me complaining that some girl from another floor had come into our floor and taken up all of the washing machines on our floor. So I approached her and politely asked her to not do that again, instead use one machine to do your separate loads so that others can get their laundry done. She then began to back sass me claiming she didn’t have to listen to me, so I reminded her that I was the RA on that floor and that I was nicely asking her to be more considerate next time.

She then began to back sass me claiming she didn’t have to listen to me, so I reminded her that I was the RA on that floor and that I was nicely asking her to be more considerate next time.

Later that night the girls RA barges into my room accusing me of yelling at the girl and making her cry. She then goes to our boss, snitches on me about the situation, then my boss called me into his office to tell me he was going to add this incident in my evaluations, saying I’m “too bossy and inconsiderate of feelings”. Well after the hiring process for the following year was over, he called me into his office to officially tell me I no longer had a job in res life, because nobody wanted to hire me. Both he and that snitch RA suggested I apologize to that girl, but I never did because why?! Because of those jerks wads I got stuck paying rent off of a minimum wage job the following year. Does this workplace sound toxic or what?
