Minpunten
The company is having publicized financial issues which has caused a large amount of salaried staff to depart the company, both voluntarily and involuntarily. I quit because I had endured two years of bullying behavior from my manager as well as backstabbing behavior within the team as they tried to win favor with my manager. The final straw was a scolding session by my manager over a minor issue, and he had so much venom that I went back to my desk shaking from what had been said to me; he threatened my position twice. I gave everything I had to the job over the course of a two year period, only to realize the boss I had once admired had no respect for me whatsoever. It was impossible to address any issues involving staff because he either avoided the issue or would criticize me directly as if I didn’t have a right to say anything. I have a medical issue, and I believe there was an effort to get me to quit because my medication was costly, and the company is self-insured. I noticed in their listing on a job site for the position that the title has been changed from “Administrator” to “Assistant” which conveys to me that they are trying to get someone in to do the same work who will be expecting a lower rate of pay. In an HR staff that started with 9 employees, there were 5 people that left in a 2 year period. Two sales staff at Corporate were terminated right before I left; a new company manager came in during July, and everyone was worried heads would roll. It is a lot more advantageous for them instigate someone quitting than to eliminate their position, because in that case the person can easily collect unemployment.
