#WorkplaceIssues #NewEmployeeChallenges #ToxicWorkEnvironment
Hey everyone, have you ever experienced being publicly humiliated as a newly hired employee at your workplace? I recently went through a really tough situation at my new job as a microbiologist and could really use some advice.
Here’s a little backstory:
– My trainers have been difficult to get along with since day one.
– I was publicly scolded in front of the whole office, which was humiliating and heartbreaking.
– I reported the incident to HR and tried to resign, but my supervisor asked me to give it two more weeks to see if things would improve.
Now I’m stuck in a tough spot. 🤷♀️ Here are some possible solutions that I’m considering and would love to hear your thoughts on:
– Seek advice from a career counselor or mentor for guidance on how to handle the situation.
– Consider talking to a therapist to cope with the anxiety and sadness from the toxic work environment.
– Start job hunting while still employed, so you have a safety net before resigning.
Has anyone ever been in a similar situation before? Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated! Let’s help each other navigate through difficult times in the workplace. 💪 #SupportiveCommunity #CareerAdvice
What do you mean “my supervisor did not let me resign”? If you wanna leave just walk out of the fxxking door and don’t come back!! However, I recommend you to stay. Anywhere you go your coworkers will be aṣṣholes. Just go on, do what you’re told, collect your money, and get out. If one day they fire you, then you can look for a new job
Honestly, I would start researching on other jobs that you can find. Apply to other positions and once you secure and accept a new offer, then just resign and tell them that you had to leave the position for emergency/personal reasons. If it affects your mental health, I wouldn’t put up with that. Until then, just try to manage with the work.
I agree with the previous comment. Do NOT resign. Go until things improve or they fire you. If you resign, you won’t be able to collect unemployment (if you’re in the U.S., unsure since it wasn’t mentioned) and your post-job hunting would be even more stressful.
Reporting it to HR was the right thing to do, unfortunately it seems they are more interested in protecting the company than you as resignation was recommended. Understand your rights and you keep your head held high! These attitudes are common in very academic majors, such as those in bio labs, so ignore your co-workers. Eventually they will get used to you being there once they recognize you aren’t leaving. You got this!
Oh no, You are gonna have a rough go.
Can definitely tell you didn’t have to work a restaurant in college.
Grow tough skin it’s the real world out here – there aren’t participation trophies and mommy isn’t gonna call the teacher for you.
OP this is your chance to grow a pair and start hitting back. With these kind of people reporting them to HR just makes them think you’re a slimy weasel. You’ll only get respect if you dish it back at them, and what’s more, if they end up firing you over it, you’ll get unemployment. Win-win!
Find your rage and stand up for yourself. To their faces.
Not every job is a good fit. I’ve never been specifically targeted and harassed at work. Perhaps it’s because I don’t look like a target. People have always told me I’m friendly and tried to help me. Even so, I’ve had jobs I thought were just awful – I didn’t stay long at those places, but also believe I’ve made pretty decent choices on what jobs to accept.
A work environment can be a bad fit even if all your workmates and supervisors are good. Your description makes the job sound like there are no positive strokes, only negative feedback no matter what you do. Not a place I would stay.
Send HR an email that you are experiencing a “pervasive hostile work environment” copying your personal email. Email yourself a note every time you are bullied or treated badly. Keep all those records. If they start to write you up for performance issues it is retaliation. When they fire you take it to an employment lawyer. Keep sending out resumes in the meantime and do your best to share absolutely nothing personal with anyone. Watch out for gaslighting and know you are doing the right thing.
