As a special needs man, it is best for me working with a Toronto Ontario company protecting all special needs men and women, including sexually harassed women as that option I explain as an example and reason. The truth is no employer in any multi-million dollar company shall ever criticize, objectify, including harass, belittle, intimidate, infringe, and transgress any special needs man or woman in anyway shape and form, including me. This is because I rather work in a unionized, truthful, loyal, honest, and reasonable multi-million dollar Toronto Ontario company even as a special needs man.

I’d love some feedback…taught for over 20 years then left when Covid began…only returned because couldn’t find a job that paid enough for me to find an apartment (long story, had to find housing after an accident). Car died 4 weeks ago and I tried every mode of transport to get me there for the last month of school. Bus puts me 4 miles from destination and walking wouldn’t get me to work on time, biking is dangerous because I won’t have access to any sidewalks, scooters are a no go for same reason and poor terrain. Tried asking coworkers but none live near me and I’m just not that person to reach out to everyone because people can be quite flaky. Literally asking myself if I should resign at end of year because car sharing will end up eating up my check long term 5 days a week to and from and I don’t know when I’ll get another car. Is this a deal breaker or am I missing something that might work. Thanks!

Strangers respect each other. Customer reps respect customers, even rude ones. Of course that respect is doled out in the domain of self-respect. Respect doesn't mean being a doormat or ignoring disrespect. You don't return hate for hate, or disprespect for disrepect, otherwise you contribute to the cycle.

Back in August of 2023, a coworker I was working with was having stomach issues and they found out later on that she had masses in her stomach and then she went into organ failure a month after going on medical leave. I was one of the last people to find out that she passed away and my boss called my dad telling him and my dad ended up telling me that she passed away. I was upset because because everybody else knew before me and my boss couldn't even tell me himself. Soon we had a memorial service at our job while customers were still there. My manager was going on about how "we are a family". In one shift my manager was saying about how my coworker would have wanted for us to go on and to keep improving our sales goal. When your boss says that you guys are family, that is translation of you're only as useful to was until you're not! Your boss is not your friend and most the time your co-workers are sheeps in wolves clothing looking for a chance to get you fired so they can have your position! Not long afterwards, I noticed that things were not the same and afterwards, I would say maybe 2 weeks to a month later we started seeing more new employees. November 2023 I got injured and had no other choice but to go on medical leave because my injury that was unrelated to work and it was so bad I was having excruciating numbness and tingling and then I started getting crippling anxiety from the pain and I was also thinking about how I let my boss and my coworkers down. My mom basically ended up being my caregiver until recently now that I am recovering. My mom went to my boss to hand them a doctor's note and said to him that if I do go back then I can't be climbing ladders for the next couple months and he told her that if I can't climb ladders and not 100% better than I shouldn't come back. I realize from that point on, I started questioning if I really wanted to work there anymore because it's not like I was asking for much other than not climbing ladders because it is a retail shop. Also corporate has gotten more greedy and before I got injured I started getting increasingly bad anxiety and depressive episodes. It's so strange that basically three or four of the five years I was working there, bad things with randomly happened with my health where I would either end up in the hospital or in a mental institution.... I'm pretty certain that even if I do decide to go back then I need to start putting my physical and mental health first and I'll probably be job hunting. I don't care if it pays less at this point because my job put so much stress on us to sell unrealistic sale goals and when we don't meet them, a lot of my co-workers end up losing hours. When my boss is not here, we have to fight in order for the managers to get us $5 bills and then we get yelled at by customers when things are out of our control. Then we have to take a monthly course about stealing when their rules literally say that there is nothing we can do about customers stealing even not even calling the police despite seeing evidence that they are stealing. Why should we have to suffer for something we can't control? We even have to wear clear purses or bags and be patted down. I work in a retail store not a security place! They are also the type of business that believes the customer is always right no matter what!

I started going to therapy on my lunch break. My therapist was like the fact you are seeing me on your lunch break is basically the universe screaming at you to get out. I quit eating, developed stomach issues and had a splitting headache constantly. I was turning to alcohol to cope in the evenings and that was when I knew it was time. That was all I needed to hear but I decided to "stick it out" for a few months. This was a mistake. I was humiliated in a meeting one day and accused of a mistake on a report I did not do. I was done...I got out and it saved my sanity honestly. No job is worth your mental or physical health.

People often feel guilty about leaving a job because they don't want to disappoint their boss or co-workers, or they feel like they are screwing the company over or what if they can't find someone to fill my spot etc. but here is the thing, if the tables were turned, and getting rid of you helped their bottom line, they would do it in a heart beat. Your employer is not your friend. Your employer is not a charity. They don't pay you out of the kindness of their hearts. They pay you because you work for them. Your relationship is transactional. You owe them nothing other than the hours you work and that's it. Most companies will even throw loyal and seasoned employees under the bus to save their bottom line. It happens all the time. So NEVER feel guilty about leaving a job.

100% They're bullies and bullies don't pick on everyone, only the people who are too soft to fight back.

I have always been teased by people in my life as a "job hopper" but pretty early on in getting into my career, I realised that if I was not happy and I was in a toxic environment where I was feeling stressed, unable to eat properly, or sleep properly, it wasn't worth it to me. My mental health got so bad once I almost unalived myself - so I refuse to allow that to continue happening. The problem is, is that so many of us are still conditioned that you just have to stfu and do your job. i have definitely struggled in advancing in my career, but I would rather stay at a low level, than destroy myself getting to the top -- not to mention, everyone at the top got up there by either who they know, or cheating their way. Hard work doesn't really get rewarded much, except for more work.

I have had about 12 Toxic bosses in my work history. The reason I didn't quit all of them is because I was at some time a Divorced father of two paying Child support and paying off Credit Cards. It wasn't fun, but I put my nose to the Grindstone. By December 2021 I was completely debt free and praise myself for pressing through.

Maria Briley I somewhat disagree. It’s patient ratios and short staffing causing the problems. Washington State Nurses Association fought back against the Wash St Govt when the Govt wanted to change to 8 hr shifts bc nurses weren’t getting their breaks. Sure, some Inpatient nurses want 8 hour shifts but the majority want 12. I will agree that 12s is more likely to cause burnout with short staffing, staying late, and not getting breaks. On the contrary it provides a better continuity for patients and more days off during the week. There is a deeper rooted issue in the profession that is burning nurses out and causing them to quit or leave their career path altogether. What I have learned in my time is it is a country (ie England, never going back) or regional issue (ie Pittsburgh). If John is willing to pack up and move he can find a job that will pay him well, treat him with respect, and provide an environment for a fulfilling career. A good way to go is travel nursing. Find areas of the country you would be willing to live and take contracts there. See how you are treated, ask about benefits and the lifestyle of the areas and then when you find a hospital that fits you apply and settle there. It will be an eye opening experience.

As someone who use to refuse to tell bosses and supervisors when my workload is too much, I understand. I remember a supervisor who constantly let my co-workers leave early, telling me to stay late because "You're not like them", as if its a sort of consolation. For about four years I worked in the mindset that, the man who does everyone's work alongside his own is the best worker. I've grown since then. Now, I know when to tell my boss "Thats enough."

Every situation discussed is what I was going through at work. Add ageism, filthy bathrooms, filthy break areas, vulgarity, fights, the shredding of people... I quit yesterday morning at 6:18. I took my power back in under 30 seconds. Hello. Im not coming back. Thank you for the opportunity but the environment is just too harsh and more than I am willing to tolerate. By 8am I had a plan...to just breath. ❤🎉

I started having a mental breakdown at one job - at night I had hallucinations that I was at work and during the day I had hallucinations that I was asleep - I wasn't actually sleeping. After a couple days of that, I called a psychologist who told me to take whatever job I could to get out of there. She said I was in the early stages of a mental breakdown and if it continued I could suffer frontal lobe damage and become disabled. Heed the warning signs.

My job has a high turn over and I made it 19 years. I had chest pains from anxiety attacks, one day I walked in and cried uncontroablly. I really hated it. I recently quit, lost weight and feel HAPPY. I rather scrub bathrooms with a toothbrush than go back.

As an addendum to these points, in my working life I've noticed a real 'type' of middle to upper manager. They talk the jargon about looking after staff, but it's actually all about control and micro-management, and making sure their name is all over everything. They have their inner clique, and know what to say to trustees/directors. They set bad culture, or don't bother to correct their 'favourites'. They will HR-jargon talk their way out of having to actually make meaningful change. There are far too many managers, and tragically few actual leaders in the workplace.

I resigned as soon as I realized a couple of things, I was no longer learning anything new that would help my career goals. I was stuck at a low salary range, and I no longer saw opportunity in the company to grow beyond what I was capable of.

Before my mum died from cancer, she told me that stress brought her cancer on, and if I was ever in a situation of living or working in stress, I should walk away. Well, life is crazy a couple of years ago. I died on the operating table and was brought back. When I was on the other side, I was very angry that I had wasted my life worrying, toxic people and toxic environments. Fast forward to today. I ended relationships with all toxic people and environments. Live your life so you do not waste it. Ps I am so greatfull that I have the opportunity to let people know this.

I started a new job 3 weeks ago. It was the worst 3 weeks of my life. My manager basically forced me to rush thru my module training, and threw me out to the wolves to handle customer issues. The worst part? Sometimes he would show up 3-4 hours late, or not at all. I’d have to blow up his phone and FaceTime him in front of customers to walk me thru my job. He always answered the phone so irritated, rude, bitchy, and snarky. There was never any time to take a break and eat. I even started drinking again. My memory was terrible, I’d wake up in the middle of the night, dreams about my job. I was off this weekend and due to go back today. And I’m simply just not going back. I called my old job back that didn’t pay enough, but at least I was trained and happy.

At work I feel like an outcast. Not to mention they are mad that I won’t work over time because I want to spend my weekend with my girlfriend and other activities outside of work.

I regularly used to wake up in a cold sweat, thinking about my next working day.

I suffered migraines, bouts of depression, anxiety, issues with sleep, itchy skin which I knew was from nerves, and I dreaded even opening my laptop much less the days I had to go to the office (hybrid). I was too mentally exhausted from the toxic office environment, the ongoing criticism and the unreasonable expectations. I gained weight from stress snacking. My manager wasn't qualified to lead a team, and I see this a lot where people are put into those positions based on seniority rather than capabilities or relevant experience. Longevity on the job does not automatically make you an effective supervisor. I've never wanted to supervise people and don't claim to have the best skills for it (or tolerance), but I know a bad manager when I experience one.

Accepted a position as a director of nursing. Very competitive salary. I was over the moon until I recognized the company: nepotism, unethical, no regard for safety or standards. I tried my best to stick it out because I am rather resilient. When I realized they did not have any plans, no budget, no care for patient or staff safety, I left within two months. I am now back on the drawing board.

A terrible job situation that I still think about 13 years later. One sign of a problem I recognized was the employees were all required to enter the building from the back door, not the front. I was hired by an office manager and not the owner (tip - don't take the job without meeting the person in charge). My first day when I met him, the owner of the place took me into a conference room and grilled me on what I did for my former employer in a hostile tone. To this day, I cannot figure out why I did not walk out right after that and stayed another two weeks before they fired me.

I ticked 3 out of 5 definitely, I realised I need to quit when I started shaking uncontrollably after my managers indirect insult, have never experienced such thing in my life when I couldnt even move, I became so steve and shaking, scared the shit out of me.

For me, it was prostatic pain. Bactrim & medical treatments did nothing. Once I left, the symptoms miraculously disappeared. CAVEAT: Do not use this line to diagnose yourself! If you have prostatic pain, see a urologist!

I’m a combat veteran and battle with PTSD and TBI. My manager asked me on multiple occasions if I “k*lled people” and or if I have violent episodes. My mental health suffered tremendously while at that job. The stress trickled into my personal life, aggregated my conditions, and impacted my family. I expressed this to my management team and they did nothing to support me. Needless to say, I left.

Quit without notice last week after over 15 years with a company (toxic work environment is an understatement of what I have endured). Had outstanding performance and showed consistent career growth and new knowledge acquisition until the new CEO got hired. When you have a rogue CEO who goes against the interests of the company in an attempt to bankrupt it - it is time to go. There has been an exodus of all senior staff and the company will be insolvent in less than 6 months. People don't generally quit jobs nor LEADERS, they quit managers.

I was told by a higher level boss that, "Because you are an over 50 white male, you might as well expect to get discriminated here."

When I was a young engineer 35 years ago, I had a little Hitler for a boss who was a total sociopathic POS. One of the very few people I've ever truly and deeply hated. It actually worked out in the long run. Later in my career when I was managing and having issues with staff, I would ask myself "What would Nick do?" I would then do the opposite, and it always worked out for the better. Sometimes it's not a bad idea to stick it out in a bad situation. Could make you stronger in the long run.

Yep. Agreed. I recently quit my job that I actually liked but could no longer stand my coworker who turned out to be bipolar who incessantly threw angry outbursts at me.

Yup, I was in a situation when I had 'quiet quit' and put a 90 day timer on myself to put-off quitting for financial reasons. Then it happened. I was already stressed out and overwhelmed, that I wanted to quit. Then all this stress affected my performance, and got chewed out. That was the last straw and I quit that same day, but it was already past my 90 days count-down, so I had no regrets, even though I had no financial safety net.

I can relate to this. I was preparing to quit months in advance with a designated time frame, but in my case they pulled the plug about a month before my "due date." Even though I was planning to leave I was bothered by the fact that they let me go instead. Then I noticed how my stress level decreased almost immediately. They did me a favor even though my ego was bruised. It was so toxic that it was affecting my overall performance too, but no one takes that into consideration. They don't care about the reasons you're not thriving and not having anyone in the company to confide in made it worse. Who is there for employees? No one!

I once had an employer tell me "You need this job". I replied "I need _a_ job, it doesn't have to be _this_ job". And actually all you really need is an income - and in the digital age there are lots of ways to do that without a traditional "job". Companies especially try to indoctrinate young employees to be fearful of their job security. I like to remind them "you had a job before this one, you'll have a job after this one".

When you see rules selectively applied and some employees allowed to get away with things you would be severely penalized for.

The stress of my last job made me lose my hair to where my family started thinking i was sick. In a way I was the stress was daunting, its a highly technical field and i came in once the older workers started to retire and they took vital knowledge with them. The issues stacked up quickly, a few things were solved however it seemed a lot of people werent pleased i didnt solve them all. I did my best i truly did, and I ended up working overtime at least 90% of the time there to handle the sheer amount. But after i got yelled at by a supervisor and scolded by an operator, I felt like I was damaging the company. Ironically after i left i was told my performance was good, I dont really know what to make of that. However after losing my hair and dropping 15 lbs in a month... man honestly that was the closest to suicide I've ever been. Like I had the note written. Glad i didnt go through with it.

Plus my coworkers are also toxic, with how they are always gossiping about others. I also did not get any proper training to the job and they expect me to get it done without mistakes.

I am pretty sure a) waking up in the middle of the night worrying about work from time to time and b) sometimes feeling absolutely no motivation is not out of the ordinary. Only if it happens a LOT.

I just had to leave for several of these reasons before I have another job lined up, because I have become mentally exhausted. I would not have the energy and especially not the time to job search properly if I had stayed there. I tried to tough it out for years and tried to change things but I couldn’t. I know I’m very skilled and will be reemployed but I’m hit by anxiety about it constantly. I know that I had become too genuinely ill to keep going however. I wasn’t sleeping properly due to constant panic attacks, I had chest pains and cried a lot. I finally had it confirmed by a former coworker who left for the same reasons, before she became as unwell as I have become. It needs to happen sometimes.
