Re: That moment when...

[(Anonymous)]

Yup, I was in a similar situation years ago. Worked my butt off, put in more hours than I should, did everything asked of me and more. Then the passing over for promotions started (and ironically those who were promoted over me kept asking ME how to do things!). I stayed the course. Then the manager I loved retired, leaving me with the head manager who was a power hungry son-of-a-bitch.

Within weeks, he threatened to fire me in front of my entire brigade for "talking back to him in front of the general district manager". The exchange he was talking about? He asked: "Where's order #X?" I answered, in my most chipper voice, "It'll be up as soon as we can!"

THEN when I found another job and handed in my two week notice, he begged me to stay. I said "nope, sorry". He tried guilting me to heck and back, and then finally gave me the ultimatum of "stay, or leave right now and you will never work for this company again in this city."

I walked.

And for several years afterward, my old co-workers would come to my new workplace and say how much harder it was now that I wasn't working at the old place, and they never realized how much I did.

Yes, I burned a bridge, and I miss working for that particular company, but I don't regret a second of my decision (and my new job had way better benefits and pay, so HA!).

Keep your chin up, OP!

Ugh, that sounds really terrible. I'm glad you were able to walk. Sometimes companies like that are just so toxic, and it's easy to feel tied in - just like any other relationship - especially when you feel directly or indirectly threatened to keep the peace and not "burn bridges", assuming that's the field you want to work in. Good for you for getting out.
