I started a job 3 months ago that I haven’t liked at all. They promised me the Earth like remote working, which never transpired. I’m needing to do expensive daily commute. My boss just…sucks. He’s passive aggressive, micromanaging and non empathetic. The job is ridiculously convoluted and boring and needlessly complicated.
I had to beg to be allowed to go for a simple blood test. I wasn’t allowed to go to appointments for my youngest child who is disabled even after giving 2 weeks notice. But the woman I work under can disappear several times a week, no questions asked.
My uncle died suddenly and they begrudgingly gave me the day off for the funeral but insisted I fly back for work the next day so had to come back in the small hours.
Two weeks ago my father had a heart attack and fell down the stairs. He caught covid in hospital and I hadn’t been able to visit him because no remote working apparently. I was called on Friday to tell me he’s on a ventilator and was moved to ICU. I called my boss and told him and he was a bit off about the whole thing and made a comment about how I “always have a lot going on” as if it was inconvenient for him.
I messaged my work this morning because i wasn’t going to make it in, and I just got told to “message my line manager”. The line manager ignored my message and didn’t even reply. None of them have thought to ask how I am or if my dad died.
I just thought “fuck this” and have decided I’m done. I’ll be heading home to visit my family and will be looking for a new job instead. My doctor gave me a sick note for a week so that gives me a bit of time to sort stuff out. But this job isn’t remotely worth it.
