Hi all...I don't even know where to start with this so I'll try to keep it to the point but it is a bit long. If I'm posting this in the wrong spot, please let me know, so I do apologize.
There is a lot to unpack here but I'm going to try to bullet-point it to make it easier.
I started a new job in August of 2022 and at first, it was great! I also genuinely loved working with patients at the small office I was at. That was...until a series of events made it to where I could no longer mentally or emotionally take what was going on anymore and I broke. Before this, I'd never had an issue with coworkers or the work environment I was in.
Editing to try to shorten this to bullet points & hopefully less to read!
- This job has two office locations, I started in the main office, and ended in 2nd office. The offices had 3 technicians/receptionists total, 2 for the main office, and 1 for the 2nd office.
- The 1st receptionist/technician was increasingly getting on me about things they portrayed as issues; started noticing those issues I was getting in trouble for were the same things she & supervisor/office manager also weren't following through on.
- 4 complaints a day & sarcastic/passive-aggressive remarks from Technician 1 & Office Manager.
- overheard technician 1 making awful comments about me to my office manager & fellow coworkers when she thought I was too far away to hear. The office manager didn't do anything to stop it. Instead, she seemed to help egg it on and agree with the comments and/or tack on her own commentary.
- Started to become stressed and increasingly uncomfortable & depressed. Reached out to a therapist to seek help.
- I started recording all interactions as of December in a small journal & then started writing them down to my friends so that I had another record of what was happening in case I forgot a detail.
- Started getting iced out (no one would say good morning to me, greet me, or even ask how was my weekend or interact with me unless they wanted/needed something from me)
- I retreated and barely spoke unless I needed to. Eventually, I reached out to my therapist trying to see if we could start sessions again because I was becoming extremely depressed.
Conclusion:
- Early February - 3rd receptionist/technician quit 2nd office due to treatment. Walked out of the job.
- Mid-February - pregnant coworker in 2nd office went out on maternity leave. Before she left I was told I needed to learn all of her job duties and was training with her to take over those on top of my own. Eventually, the office manager & another coworker from the main office started rotating in & out due to 2 people not being able to hold down the office & care for patients.
- 2 weeks ago, overheard my office manager speaking with my coworker at 2nd location in hushed tones "Has she gotten on your nerves yet? She annoys me so much!" & proceeded a full vent about me even though I hadn't spoken to her other than about work-related issues all that morning. Decided I couldn't take it anymore and put in my notice.
- Left job that offered no medical, vision, or dental benefits that was full-time.
Someone mentioned I might qualify for EDD but I don't really know if I do, however, I did want to find out other people's possible similar experiences and how long it took you to find your new job.
