I've been a lurker on this thread for a while
@TheGlossy are you ok? Your workplace sounds like an actual nightmare!
Just so I'm clear your manager arranged a meeting between themselves, a colleague and you and only you turned up!? That's out of order - I can't believe people actually progress in workplaces when this kind of
tit goes on... I feel angry on your behalf haha!
Thank you very much for your post cuttle90!
I have to say, I am absolutely drained to the point where during my time off whether annual leave or weekends, I'm unable to function. I just want to sit there and do absolutely nothing. I used to be a happy go lucky active individual, then I joined this company and I've been on auto-pilot dealing with their toxicity day in and day out. What I post on here is only a portion of what they do, because there are many many other instances, but I don't want to spam this thread. They've been wrecking my head on so many levels. It's a hell on earth, I can safely say.
Yes, the above is correct. The manager arranged a meeting between all three of us and I'm the only one who turned up. It's the highest level of disregard / disrespect. The worst part is when the manager ping me after the call, they never apologized for not showing up.
He actually did something similar the week prior. He pinged me to ask whether he could arrange a call between myself, himself and his manager to discuss a project they assigned me to. I agreed and assumed he would schedule the call and various logistics around it since he said he would do it. He went on sick leave afterwards and when he came back, he turned a corner and sent me a long email saying: "
I suggest you schedule the call with my manager and I to discuss the project blah blah". Literally wrecking my head because he said he was going to do it, then switches the script overnight and wonders why I haven't done XYZ. I have zero problem scheduling the call, but then leave it to me to handle, don't tell me you're going to do it then decide not to out of the blue.
They contradict themselves on the daily and it's wrecking my head because I start to wonder if I'm the one going crazy. Luckily, I always document everything by email, so I always have evidence of what was said and when, but this is not bearable in the long run because it renders me paranoid and I cannot trust a thing they say because I know they will flip the script. It's very easy to lose both your sanity and confidence in your abilities to understand basic tasks in this environment because they just flip the script or act like they forgot basic items. No wonder their work is riddled with mistakes from top to bottom.
