Hi all,
I've been there one year, but I got ptsd from the job before that, due to bullying.
There's a lot of reasons I quit, but I just sort of reached a point today where I just imploded.
I do part-time on call work at various conventions around town, and can end up with whatever supervisor they have that day. This one I had never worked with before, and she, imo, has some control issues.
She started giving me lessons in how to use my brain as a subconscious inventory taking device - oh pulease! Made me go through 3 rounds of that.
I realized throughout the course of this convention that she was a liar. She said that show management would not allow us to have any bags of any kind on the convention floor, then today when I arrived at my post, I see the day shift person I was relieving sitting there with a big old bag full of lunch, thermos, etc.., which would not have happened (believe me) if show management really had an issue with it.
When she told me I had to keep one foot on the floor at all times, while sitting in a high chair, I knew it wasn't true, I knew that no other supervisor had ever required that, and I just felt some kind of implosion.
And to top it all off, she was not giving me bathroom breaks. So when I complained, I asked about getting my legal 15 minute break, and she complained by lying about how many bathroom breaks I had already had, and I said "That's an interesting legal question."
So when I got back from lunch, I quit, and now I'm having PTSD symptoms. I'm glad it didn't start until after I was done with the quitting business, pretty much not until I got home, but now I have muscle aches and can't sleep.
And now the company owner wants to talk to me, probably to ask me to stay, and I don't want to talk. She doesn't want to hear the truth about all the other reasons - the disorganization, the lack of communication, etc.
I'm tired of the ptsd symptoms!
I don't need this crap from crappy jobs!
