Here's the reason I resigned from my last job
So a lot of people texted me this and asked what exactly happened after one of my comments in another subreddit.
So the thing is my manager(25 Female) tried to forcefully kiss me(21 Male) after one of our monthly review meetings in the conference room. It was along with two of my colleagues but they were sent back to the cabin after their reviews were done, it was a very normal setting tbvh and nothing felt off, she started circling around while telling me something, and that's when she tried to do it.
I pushed her away and I was like what the duck, and that's when I just stood up and went to the hr cabin(my office was on a different floor with our team cabins there and the conference rooms and meeting rooms were two floors above the office floor), and told them about this. She came into the hr cabin 10 mins later, I was asked to leave the cabin at that point.
Was called back by the hr 15 mins later, and that's when she just made up an excuse that SHE WAS DRUNK??!! To which I did raise it that she was clearly not drunk and even if she was, it is inappropriate to be drunk during office hours and taking up meetings. Hr brushed it off, and just asked how I would like to take this forward, I was told that either I take this up legally(all the policies and stuff) and you'd not be allowed to work with the organisation any longer. Or I voluntarily resign and take one extra month of compensation.
I questioned that why should I leave, I did not do anything wrong but then the reasoning was just given that this has been discussed with the founder and she is in a way too stronger position in the company to leave.
I genuinely wasn't in the right state of mind to take it up legally, obviously I'd not want what happened to me to happen to someone else but I chose peace and chose to resign with an extra month of compensation. Ngl I was anyways gonna resign probably in 2 months because of the toxic work culture.
Hence I served a 15 day notice period and left from the company, my manager did text me multiple times and apologized, but this was definitely inappropriate.
All of these incidents do remind us that this is just how things work in corporate, the one who's more powerful is always favoured, and i guess not just corporate, this is life.
And and and now that I am unemployed, if anyone who's reading this post works in a B2B startup or knows someone who does and can get me a referral or something for a Sales development or account executive role, it'd be really great.
