Toxic workplace stories chapter 6: What the fuck was that?

I’ve just left my latest toxic workplace and it’s definitely up there with the weirdest. I’m at number 6 in this series and that’s 6 too many. I’ve never met creepier people in my life and they weren’t only creepy, they were incredibly toxic as well.

The reason they were so creepy and toxic was that they were a bunch of idiots who were left unsupervised. My manager was literally a nitty from the Gloucester high street who sneaked into the office and was given a job.

Ok, she wasn’t literally that but if you sat her on the bench with the rest of the homeless drunks in Gloucester you wouldn’t bat an eyelid, she’d fit right in.

It was bad from the beginning

As soon as I had the interview I knew that something was wrong, and then my suspicions were confirmed when I got a call right after the interview pushing me to take the job.

No competent company pushes you to take a job unless you’re an amazing well-known candidate or if they’re in the mud — and I wasn’t an amazing well-known candidate.

I tried to get a new job as I had a month before my start date but I couldn’t land anything. Then I started and it was actually to my surprise… worse than I expected.
