This might be a bit too personal but whatever…
Context is that my last job wasn’t exactly great, and it just happened to be when US science was having issues, so I left for a position in EU. Only joined for less than 2 months so still new. Problem is now that I’ve settled in a bit, issues at the new workplace have been surfacing… I know academia/academic research is known for having “difficult personalities” but this is beginning to get comical. Edit: in both cases it is the supervisor that is toxic; I have nothing against my coworkers. In this case it’s referring to what appears to be lots of micromanagement and favoritism, probably some denying of holiday leave that may or may not be legal by the country’s employment laws
On one hand I don’t want to deal with a bad workplace again just to avoid the toll on my own health (which did happen a lot during the past year). But on the other hand it is nice to have an EU-based position (especially since I’m not an EU citizen so my job is also linked to my ability to stay in a country), and if I got into this situation two-times in a row what’s guaranteeing that it won’t happen again
I’m… open to all suggestions
Did anyone else read the title and then get surprised that the author is not who they thought it would be?
You have my sympathies, OP.
… Thanks, is there an in joke that I didn’t quite get somewhere??
One of the other question oriented boards have recurring questions about work place drama and changing positions. It has gotten to the point where I can see the title and know who the poster is. Not mentioning names, but your post is different enough to know you’re not them.
I… learned something new today about Lemmy I guess
No that’s definitely not me, my workplaces may have asshole bosses but actually all have surprisingly little drama all things considered (and I hope I don’t jinx it)
I think I ended up blocking that person just to avoid all the repetitious topics, and I was still surprised
Yuuuuuup. Still wondering, tbh.
