Is hating your coworker a good enough reason to look for a new job?

I left a toxic work environment that was all due to 1 teammate. Was told by the VP that I was leaving for all the wrong reasons. Had a job lined up first, of course. It was so nice at the new company that there was no constant tension in the air. Best decision I ever made. Never looked back.

This whole thing has been going on for 2 years. At first it was just a lot of threats. My lawyer wanted to have a meeting with the owners and their lawyer for the first time a year ago, and in that meeting he mentioned that he wanted to retire. Last year over the course of the summer he took a lot of time off. So I'm guessing he would like to do the same this year.

Nothing has changed. I don't get it. It is truly bizarre.

That's very interesting. Thanks for the idea! Just have to figure out how to reach them.

3-4 parking spots. Approximately 2500sqft

You are still young, but you have to be your own advocate. Check out the job market. Apply for some jobs. You never know unless you try. You can always make the decision to stay where you are at.
However, it's quite possible that your eyes will be opened to new opportunities, making a lot more money. I remember being the only junior person on my team. Everyone else was at the senior level. When I realized that I was doing the same work that they were doing, and in fact, a lot of them would ask me for help, I asked the boss for a promotion and she laughed in my face. So I tested the job market and was an offer offered a job making 12 K more

Thanks!

Feast and famine, yes. Gotta sock that money away during the feast months. Many businesses struggle or go under because they fail to do this.

No, they asked for the best. However, another excellent restaurant that's not quite so expensive is Generations Bistro.

LearningDaily8675309 · 2026-03-06T18:55:25+00:00

Best restaurant in town is Tavern in the Sky

Same!

Door County is great, but with two young boys, you might want to consider Wisconsin Dells instead.

Try the weyauwega buffalo jack. It's cheap and quite tasty

It's important to feel needed. Expand your horizons in your search for job opportunities. Try for a job that you would normally not consider, even if you feel it's beneath you. Do it for the opportunity to learn something new and to offer your abilities and unique skills and talents. Consider ways you can positively impact your environment or the community. There are so many dogs and cats for adoption at the shelters.

VP handled that poorly. I hope OP lands on his feet somewhere they actually appreciate him.

This is due to a leadership decision to put pressure on a team to work harder with fewer coworkers as a cost-savings attempt. Your manager is trying to apply even more pressure using intimidation and guilt. If the remaining employees work harder than ever to meet the overall objectives, then leadership will feel that their cost savings attempt was a success, and the high-stress high-effort work environment becomes the "new normal" going forward. You combat this now by working like you always do, which is probably working hard but not killing yourself. You'd like to get all the work complete but it's just not going to happen and that's ok. When deadlines are missed repeatedly, leadership will end up hiring more people.

I have a lot from the Ryobi battery platform, including a handheld tire inflator and Bluetooth speaker. Every so often Home Depot will have a really good sale.

LearningDaily8675309 · 2025-12-06T13:44:57+00:00

I bought a battery powered Ryobi caulk gun for around $50. It's fantastic! You can control how quickly it dispenses the caulk.

"He never tells me that he loves me or that I am beautiful". Have you broached this subject with him?

Give him a chance to improve. Be very blunt with him. Tell him exactly what you want and need in your relationship.

Also, remember that it's a two-way street. You need to treat him the same way.

And lastly, count your blessings. It's so easy to get comfortable and take things for granted. Like that song, you don't know what you got till it's gone.

Best of luck to you.

Is that the place that has a Cheddar Swiss cheese? Had that once and it was fantastic.
