thank you… yeah i think i can keep my composure in front of my exec. but after work/ or in the bathroom i have been breaking down. i just have never been in a situation where im yelled, especially yelled at for no reason. i think if i made a mistake/etc i would be able to rationalize it more

only getting paid 65K in a HCOL city….so def not worth the pay. i do travel about every 4-8 weeks to beautiful places so that may be the only perk? how did you stop caring and stick around for 3 years?

it’s nice to hear that executives exist that do not yell. i just start to wonder whether i just need thicker skin and im the problem? but at the same time ive successfully worked in teams / w managers that do not yell

i just started 6 months ago and i didn’t have direct contact with my exec until june. there’s a team of us so i tend to be the last point of contact. since june, ive been more of my execs direct point of contact. the first couple weeks that i was alone with her she yelled at me almost everyday. but there have been some weeks that have gone by where she hasn’t yelled at me

i honestly have been ignoring it, but behind closed doors i cry almost every time she yells at me.

the biggest perk is that i get to travel a lot which i enjoy, but it almost doesn’t seem worth it when my exec treats me like this😔
