Need US participants for my research study especially male. Please reply if you’re willing to help, I’ll pm you the details.

I have been employed by this company for 3 years now. They have been the worst three years of my life professionally and personally to say the least. When I started, I was excited because I always wanted to work here however, that quickly left soon as I realized the kind of company I signed up to work for. The first position I worked in I was the only other minority and visibly "gay" girl which my lead lmk by saying "oh we've got another one". Referring to the older gay woman who had been working there for quite some time. Little by little there were microaggressions everyday such as my coworkers asking me questions just because I was black and every black person they saw they felt like I related to so they would ask me some of the most outlandish things. My lead was a workplace bully who passed her work off to me all the time, make racist comments and when she wasn't doing that, she was on a power trip and the other minority would say nothing because he was use to it and chose to fit in rather than stand up for himself. I was always friendly to my coworkers, so the moment I wasn't smiling they called me "aggressive" and my supervisor took their word over mine anytime I said anything because she had worked with them longer, so she knew them.

2nd position I got hired on a team that was overworked, understaffed, and lacked any respect at all. I wasn't wanted on the team initially for whatever reason, but I was told later this was the case. My lead was problematic to say the least, she kept up drama between the coworkers, blamed us for everything (even though the issues were machine errors and not our faults), and chose to blame us anytime management said anything negative to her. Because I did not submit and cower under her I was seen as problematic, so she made it her agenda to target me every day. I went months without a lunch break, working alone (I'm supposed to have a partner), and being blamed for things I did not do. BY the end of my time there she had called me the N word and told me if I didn't like what was going on I could leave, so I did.

3rd position, the last job tried to say I was a no call no show, retaliation for me finally standing up for myself and going to management. So my new boss threatens me upon hire, basically believing the second job without looking any further into the situation. this time my health issues have gotten progressively worse since the last position prompting me to use my FMLA more than usual. This has prompted my coworkers to grow disdain for me and go so far as not to speak to me at all or acknowledge me almost every day I come in, despite the fact that I work my a** off and help others when I'm here. I have had my privileges revokes because I use FMLA which is my legal right and now I have been robbed of my title promotion I was supposed to get in March because of a bogus performance review that my previous supervisor who no longer works here left. Sad part is the coworkers that I watch sleep during their shift while I pick up their work, talk all night or play games and fumble with their phones all got promoted and received superior performances while I got "marginal performer". The lazy get pats on the backs, the problematic are the favorites, and the hardworking are overlooked I have tried to leave and go somewhere else SEVERAL times each time I get to the peer interview and after that no response. This leads me to believe that my current job is sabotaging me leaving, for whatever. reason. My current dilemma is I signed a contract upon hire so I have until March of next year to stay with this company or I have to pay back a boat load of money. my fiancée and I have discussed options and they believe I should go because they are never going to treat me right and what has gone on has been beyond wrong.

My question: SHOULD I LEAVE OR SHOULD I GO?

I work in the healthcare field. Nuff said right there, ik. I have been working in this particular field for about three years now. I recently made my anniversary for a title change in March which was guaranteed UNTIL I had my performance review from my previous supervisor who is no longer here. Long story short, the guy basically said I was a marginal performer because I am not trained in all areas and I don't ask for help or ask questions.

When I was hired here, I came from another facility that had staffing issues and placed me in the same area for months, so I never got trained anywhere else, same thing at this place. As for the asking questions, my coworkers are extremely rude and have not made me feel comfortable in the slightest. They don't even speak to me on a daily basis, when I have issues, I figure them out on my own before I go to anyone. When I have went to them in the past, I've received attitude in return which makes me not want to talk to them ever. On top of that the higher ups praise the lazy people and overlook the hardworking ones, the ones who do no work receive promotions and the problematic people are the favorites. Everything is upside down and when I have tried to go anywhere else it's almost like they've blocked those opportunities. I signed a contract, so I have to stay with this company until March of next year unless I want to quit and pay a shii ton of money back

If anyone is willing to share their experience via interview. Lmk !
