    I can relate to that. I have had to quit 3 jobs due to horrible bosses. 1 I quit because my boss always accusing me of making sexual advances towards... his daughter. Not a chance she bore a close resemblance to Godzilla lol. The 2nd job I quit since my supervisor was actually the owners nephew who didn't know what he was doing. I had worked there for 10 years before it was sold to another company and I knew more about the operation than my so called supervisor. Each time he screwed up he would blame me and I got in trouble. Then the last job I quit I was constantly being belittled and put down and made to feel worthless no matter how much I tried. The final straw was when I slipped on the ice and fell and got hurt. Instead of seeing if I was ok I got shit for trying to do my job and called stupid. The next day I ended up in the hospital with a blood clot in my bowel and had to have emergency surgery. I have never looked back on quitting any of these jobs.  more

  • One of my favorite jobs was extremely difficult and had a higher turnover rate. But I loved helping people in need, especially troubled children who... were seen as dangerous to others, but I saw as helpless and afraid. I quit because upper management was racist, demeaning, and often times sexually inappropriate.  more

  • I quit my job my first job because I was constantly being belittled and put down and made to feel worthless no matter how much I tried. The boss... wanted to kill my career. He started by killing my self esteem. Any contribution I made sounded like rubbish to him.I left the second one because the boss wanted me to work on my day of worship. more

  • I agree. I also think that employees don't quit their jobs, the employers quit them. Human beings are meant to expand and create. You can't do that... crammed in a metaphoric and literal cubical. Job descriptions are modern day shackles for slave labor. more

  • My manager sexually assaulted me for weeks. Fired me because I didn't want to be maltreated. Each time I speak out, he punished me double. I finally... was able to speak out to his superiors, and they all ganged up on me even with my 🧾 evidence  more

  • It's 99% true anyway

  • i was once in such an environment, an opportunity for people to go under voluntary separation came and a lot of people decided to leave the firm, just... because on one sick manager. If it wasn't for that i don't think those people would have decided to leave. more

  • thats true

  • Again some bosses are not competent in their daily work.

  • People don't quit jobs they quit their bosses since some bosses are too much harshly to the junior staff.

  • It is absolutely the truth, if you have a rude and unfair leader/ boss, the environment becomes untenable. In such case the option available to ... avoid ruining your career is to quit more
