@Chip_Unicorn I think I will wait and see if the rest of the week is as intolerable as today. If today and last Wednesday were exceptions, I'll look for work and quit immediately if something comes through. If they're not exceptions and they don't fire me, I'll give notice.
I've stayed the longest of the last 4 people they had in this position and I'm starting to wonder if they'd chased the other folks out too.
@matoakit thank you! I really hope so too. The prior job had a lot of potential but then the company went away.
@frostwolf @matoakit I probably should have realized that working for a rich boomer in an innately immoral field is *not* going to pay off in being treated well.
@matoakit Thank you for confirming my (unpleasant) suspicions. I'd started looking last week after my boss *screamed* at me over the phone, but I put in for a batch more jobs, today.
@fairydoctor420 My big concern here is that unlike CA (where you say, hey, I've been fired, could you give me UI so I don't starve or get evicted?) WA likes making the unemployed prove that they actually merit UI payments, and this is the point where a former employer has a chance to mess with the process.
@matoakit Thanks. I don't think I have to intentionally mess up for them, they've already decided I'm the antichrist or something.
@fairydoctor420 that’s the thing. The only reason to stick around is to try claiming unemployment, but with the way I’ve been treated I suspect they’ll be some sort of crapped up excuse for why I don’t get UI.
Oh, there’s more; earlier I was told that apartment X had been rented. Therefore, I was not to give keys to the new property manager. I got called by the guy who owns the property company who harangued me about how we were going behind his back and I needed to bring the key over to the new property manager, despite that meaning that I was ordered offsite and I had been ordered by my boss to remain within the office to field phones. I did give them their keys.
I have had it up to here with adults with unquestionable power, who feel that they can go off on me because I have “messed up“ when they did not actually provide adequate or in this case any previous direction. Do they think this is something I haven’t experienced hundreds of times before? and I didn’t like it any of those hundreds of times either.
Asking for a reality check, please.
My workplace recently hired a property manager who is supposed to be taking over most duties. Earlier I’d compiled a list of tenants, their lease information and contact information. As part of sending nastygrams about the laundry room at one property, the new property manager requested a list of tenants there; then requested an listing for all properties. So I provided that information, and that’s what I got harangued about.
Was that actually my mistake?
