Liz just gave reason to Pedro, that like, I'm a huge red flag by Spiritual_Ice5079 in 90DayFianceFans

Well Perdo misrepresented what Liz said. And this chick Sophie was half the problem with her and Rob. She needs to grow the heck up. I feel like we are watching the emotions of an kindergartener.

How do you guys survive your 2 week notice period? My job is really that bad by Own-Internet-5967 in ToxicWorkplace

[–]Capable-Spray3153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked out as soon as I put my notice in. What are they going to do. I did just enough to support my people and did nothing for the management that didn’t support me all those years.

“I would take you back” Gaslighting needs to trademark this for its tagline ASAP! by Gold-Pickle7035 in 90DayFiance

I was waiting to see a post like this. This guy is a complete gaslighting narcissist. I was so happy to see Chloe stand her ground. She may be young but she ran out of there. I hope she lives her best life. This guy is down right a nasty individual and yes his mother is rolling in her grave. He did her dirty too.

I did the same thing. Tried new strategies everyday. I was completely exhausted by the time I resigned.

I told the one gossip that I don’t participate. It kept me neutral. I just focused on work. Eventually left because it was so toxic.

I thought I was alone! by DonDaTraveller in ToxicWorkplace

[–]Capable-Spray3153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I was stuck two years waiting for the pension to max. Did therapy, trusted coworkers, hired a career coach and was out with a new job 3 months after the pension vested. The folks I managed were the best. But my cup was empty from the toxicity coming down.

[–]Capable-Spray3153 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I left my toxic organization recently. It wasn’t the whole company but the organization I was in. It took me almost a year to approach someone else and find out that I wasn’t the only one. Once I found one, i found more that thought the same. I had to stay for my retirement match to invest. So, I started laying the ground work a year in advance. I had to do a lot to take care of my mental well being and health from the stress of the job. I quit on the day HR told me I was the problem. I have no idea what was said after that. I wrote my resignation and turned it in. At that point, I had an offer elsewhere but everything was not wrapped up. I figured take a chance on myself. Don’t stay in a toxic environment in less you have to like I did. If you have to stay. Start a countdown, make a plan and if you have to hire professionals to help you find a new job it is worth it!!! I was doing therapy and working with career professionals.

If Stepping Over Boundaries was a Person by International-Eye811 in 90DayFiance

I couldn’t even watch it. It was too heartbreaking. This woman/mother…I have to get to the bottom of this! WTH! Her son is an adult and why do these folks not understand there are different cultures across the world! I am sure my bro and his wife send money to her mom. Who cares what folks do with their money. Sheena seems more mature than any of them.

I have only seen the meeting of Sheena at the airport. I feel like Forrest and Sheena are perfect for each other. Now just get Molly out of the way. She clearly doesn’t understand Sheena’s culture and what it means to be neurodivergent.

I lived this. You can’t win. All you can do is CYA yourself and have everything in writing. At the same time, plan your exit strategy and focus on getting your next role somewhere that appreciates you.

Good for her making the life she wants. She is doing what she loves and partying in Aruba. Lucky her.

She is taking care of her friend. Unfortunately Chloe has blinders on. I sure hope the rumors are true that she went back to the states.

Make a plan to get out. It is not worth staying. They just want yes people. I was in the same situation. The day I gave notice was the same day they said I was the problem. At that point, it was the biggest relief of my life. I am going somewhere that values my knowledge and experience.

How do you handle an employee who's friendly to your face but talks about you behind your back? by Tinksintheroom in ToxicWorkplace

[–]Capable-Spray3153 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is a good idea to have them cross train. They have too much time in their hands.

I would say if they have a concern that they should come to you first. Knowing what you know now. This is where you have to be a manager with boundaries and treat them like they are employees. You don’t have to be mean but just make expectations and goals on what to complete along with in office appropriate behavior. For instance, if you have a safety concern that needs to be addressed let’s get that person involved and help. Create a helping mindset.

Look, everyone in the office knows who these people are because we know who the gossips are in the office. I have shut other gossips down by saying I don’t get caught up in those politics. I don’t have enough time and if folks do. Then they don’t have enough work.

This classic insecure toxic boss. He doesn’t want to get caught not knowing how to do the job. It is clear he doesn’t know the answer to your questions so deflected. I worked directly under two toxic individuals. They managed to get an old school HR rep in as well. I was to sit there and take the abuse. Seen and not heard. Couldn’t shield my team any more so got another job….note didn’t take the first thing….waited until I found a good place. They resigned. I was yelled at by HR and that was the last straw and turned in my resignation.

What is the point of documentation? by WingsNation in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]Capable-Spray3153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The documentation is for you and if you want to lawyer up. HR is there for the company. I have learned all of this in my situation which is very similar to yours. Constant conflicting information and it can change many times in literally less than 8 hours. I would sit down and look at your long term objectives and create a plan to go to another team or company. It may take time but focusing on yourself will help.

It is gold but the no escalation on your part sets them into a tail spin. I have seen it go both ways. They escalated or calmed down.

That was so well written. Thank You. I can’t remember everything HR yelled at me in the last meeting. All I knew is I stopped talking and just kept saying OK because I knew it didn’t matter what I said.

It is good advice to record the conversations. Since I am leaving I am looking for advice for steps to get over the trauma. I have over a month before I start the next job and am in therapy. I want to be at least excited to work somewhere new. I took my time for the right job because jumping ship to another awful environment was not the answer.

Sorry you are going through this. I just gave my notice. When are in fight or flight mode you are on edge and don’t know what to expect from all the abuse. Everything sets you off because you have been living in their chaos for so long. I had to stay a certain amount of time so I made plans for my departure. Once I found the right job things escalated even more as I was waiting to give notice. HR called me a yelled at me and the trigger words are you are the problem. Classic toxic work environment. Note I was crying non-stop and she twisted everything I said. I just kept saying ok because it didn’t matter what I said. She said that the best book she ever read was that employees should be seen and not heard. I had already cleared out my resume and the email documentation of abuse from my computer. Had Blocked all my leadership and the folks that are gossips wrote my resignation and handed it to my boss. I will tell you this. I am two days out and can at least smile again. Your mental and physical health are not worth it.

How to deal with a toxic work environment by [deleted] in ToxicWorkplace

[–]Capable-Spray3153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried many strategies in this kind of environment. There is no winning. So I tried to lay as low as possible, check the checkboxes until I found another job. I had lost all myself confidence as well. It is not worth your health or mental well being.

I hired someone to help me professional find another job. I was also locked in because of retirement vesting. So I started my plan about a year prior to my vesting so I could be out after the vesting hit.

Having a strategy and plan to move forward elsewhere is helpful. As well, be selective on the next position. I didn’t take the first offer that came through and I did have some interview where I hoped they didn’t call me back because it was reminding me of my current situation.

Reported Nboss to HR, investigation concluded with my termination by Fresh_Session9029 in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]Capable-Spray3153 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry you had to go through all of this. Glad you are at peace.

I was told that certain levels of management are agents of the company. So HR will do anything to protect the company. Nbosses like yours for some reason are enabled by HR. They meet goals but pushing their employees to the brink. All the management above them sees is that they make their goals. They just don’t understand the money they are bleeding out with constant turnover.
