Corporate America

I almost walked out on my job today…

It was easier to not write my blog than to admit how bad things were getting at work. The manager had escalated things so badly HR had gotten involved and I was practically yelling at them because they weren’t listening to what I was saying at first and didn’t believe that even the simple email exchanges that were happening could be perceived as bullying tactics. After re-explaining the various incidents that occurred at work they finally realized there was more to the story than this manager was letting on. I was beyond pissed because they were telling me at first that they were willing to start over with a clean slate and they weren’t going to fire him and I was about to walk out on my job today because I have had enough.

This battle has literally been going on for months and I’ve been reporting this manager’s behavior incident by incident for weeks and it’s been beyond exhausting to keep dealing with it. And feeling like I haven’t had the best support by leadership. I honestly started looking for another job. I know in my heart if I’m still feeling unhappy at this job when all of this is over I still won’t stay and I don’t care how anybody feels about it. If they wanted me to stay they should have treated me better.

I just know I was pissed. I am not satisfied with the overall process that I have experienced during this time and that it took them forever to finally do the right thing and had me and my coworker not spoken up and said “No, He doesn’t get another chance and here’s why,” he would still be working for this company and apparently he’s been pulling these stunts for years and I’m just baffled that they were letting him continue on this way until we insisted otherwise. And they ended up launching an investigation and gathering more evidence against him.

It’s just ridiculous that I had to go through this. Supposedly next week they should be starting the termination process to remove him and for the time being they want us to keep our distance. I’m just like get him out of here the sooner the better. That’s what I need from you. This man had been emotionally abusive for months. Get him out of here!

I’m just tired of corporate america jobs as whole. My babe and I are talking about starting our own business and what it would take to start small and build because it’s something we have always wanted to do and I don’t mind it starting off as a side hustle until it can become a main hustle. We are ready for something new that is just ours. Let’s see what happens.

Love always.
