Just got fired...
So, I just got fired recently, and it's been really hard to find work, as you can imagine.
However, the environment was toxic, and I was treated poorly while I was there. My boss was micromanaging, controlling and overly critical.
For example, she would give vague instructions on a task and then get upset because I didn't do it a certain way. This would lead to her being rude towards me. She would also have certain expectations that would constantly change, which is impossible to meet.
I would also get scrutinized if I did or didn't ask questions. If I asked questions, she would make me feel dumb and tell me it's a simple task, but then if I didn't ask questions, it was impossible to meet her elusive expectations.
This is just some of the many things she did that made it hard to work there.
Has anyone else dealt with a toxic work environment or a bad boss? If so, what did you do, or wish you did, to better support yourself?
I also want to know for the future, just in case...
P.S I worked in the HR department 😭
