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 don’t necessarily hate my coworkers but the place is so small that things get mismanaged, not enough budget, people being shoehorned into management where they don’t fit, and overall just a lot of not having anything being standardized.

    There’s very little room to make any significant contributions because management won’t listen to you. You might think in a small place there would be wiggle room and a willingness to listen to folks because we all know each other, but here it’s just more of the bigger corporate “don’t rock the ship” mentality and again the bad management that were grandfathered into their position don’t want to be challenged. It’s pathetic.

    Also, because it’s so small, there’s little room for growth beyond whatever maybe very specific thing you wanted to get out of the job, but after that? You don’t move up, things (again) don’t change because people have gotten used to just barely stringing things together even though when you have to go through it all, people are still wearing multiple hats and the people that should be trying to standardize things so that there’s efficient interactions and cohesion don’t do it because AGAIN, those fuckers don’t know what they’re doing. They’re needed for a very specific responsibility and just so happened to be tacked on as a manager as well.

    So done with this shit. Fucking hate working at SMBs.
