I came to tell my boss about my mental problems, that caused me to cancel my pto at the last minute only to re put it in next day. It has been in for a week and everything was ready to go.

First texted about it wanting to talk. Ignored. Bring up in morning meeting " no I don’t have time we will talk later"

I linger in the office to talk to his boss or him whoever showed first. He finally calls me back because he sees me waiting outside his bosses office.

I opened by saying “sorry about that communication my brain was broke, this time of year is really hard for…” Was interrupted. Told “you’re an adult, don’t say that. I don’t care about your reasons. I haven’t read any emails you sent.” Are you taking it or not?"

I’ve never had such a toxic statement come from the person who is supposed to look out for their employees wellbeing. They at least act like they have your best interest at heart.

Also getting confirmation you don’t ever read anything I send.

I’ve dealt with toxicity before. But to directly be told I don’t give a fuck about you is a bit much for me.

Machismo should be eradicated from the earth. Although I am sure they would say the same about sensitive ass men like me.

Tldr: What’s an event that made you realize it was time to move in to another job?

    I work for a very large company. Late last year they decided to completely eliminate our division in Sydney, Australia.

    That, on it’s own, was not a problem, stuff like that happens all the time. What WAS a problem was that nobody in North American management was told until a week before the shut down. “Oh, by the way, Sydney’s last day is Friday…”

    So those of us in North America were like “Welp, writing is on the wall…”

    I was out for medical starting 1/14, I came back for one day on 3/24 and found North America was shut down too. My last day is 5/22 and until then I have a no show job followed by 5 months severance.
