Little bit of a vent but also very open to advice! I work nights at a hotel and from day one upper management (specific managers, not all) has not liked me. However it's very hard to find someone with my type of experience because I also do bookkeeping for this hotel, and every person they tried to put on nights quit because who the hell wants to do that? Since I've been hired 7 months ago they've tried to train 4 other people for nights - all quit. They can't find someone to replace me. But the occupational bullying is intense.

I get multiple emails everyday about everything I've done wrong during my shift. EVERYTHING. today I received an email scolding me for "poor hygiene" - when I asked for clarification on what this meant because I came looking quite nice, my manager told me I had left food scraps under the desk which she called "disgusting". Thing is I don't bring food to work because eating at night makes me nauseous. So it definitely wasn't me. I don't even feel like replying. This is every day. I've gotten emails over things like papers not being sorted alphabetically (on my days off.. didn't do that) and even received a final warning for an ink stain on my skin I couldn't get off. It's exhausting. It makes me feel like they're waiting to fire me but they can't because they can't find anyone to work 5-6 days a week all nights.

I'm starting to think they do this to me on purpose to get me to quit so they don't have to pay unemployment, which would make sense since they clearly really want to fire me. I've listened to all their guidelines and tried so hard to be a model employee. I haven't been late once in 2 months or missed a day. But I've still been applying to jobs because I don't want to be in this work environment anymore.

Needed to get this off my chest. I feel like I can't do anything right. They really, really want me gone. I know I'm a good worker. I guess my question is, do I wait for them to fire me to collect unemployment or do I just get a new job and quit? And why would they want me to quit if they've openly said they can't find anyone for my shift? What's the reasoning behind it? What have yall done in the past when you've experienced occupational bullying?
