Toxic work place

Had lunch with my two good friends and ex-coworkers the other day talking about life, talked about work and the person the company put in my place. She's toxic to the core she's what the company wants ie a snitch she will tell on other employees kisses managements ass.

This corporation has been always a toxic workplace all its departments management breeds in fighting etc everything to make the employees lives miserable. Upper management bullies the managers under them they in turn bully the supervisors which in turn bullies the employees. Its been this way for decades in the last decade it become even more prevalent.

I wasn't what management wanted as a "supervisor" I got things done, things were done efficiently. The woman they replaced me with is what they want it sure makes me glad I don't work there especially under her.

I would never return to a corporate job since I've returned to working for a small company that has 4 employees not 4000. I'm trying to convince my one friend to leave she's going to end up really sick if she spends anymore years at the corporation but she wants to stay till she retires. Any of the employees that have stayed to retirement ended up with health problems which in turned put a damper on enjoying retirement.

So you mean that Scorp chick is a toxic

Stihl, what year is it now?

Forgive yourself.

You're still going on about this stuff?

Nothing like tooting your own horn!

So you were a better manager. Your replacement does not do a good job. You are so happy that you don't work there anymore. Your life is so much better.

That's great. I'm happy for you but I can't help but wonder if it's really true.

This guy reaks of narcissism

This has nothing to do with a Scorpio this is the new person that replaced me think Aries. I work in civil construction again where I was before I took an office job where I was pushed into supervisor work did it for quite a few years. I couldn't take the toxicity anymore your walking on eggshells at work now that I've been away from it for 14 months or so.

After hearing what the person that replaced me is like I'm trying to convince my friend to get out no this friend isn't a Scorpio. She needs to get out and enjoy life she's just making herself ill working at the job she's working at she's like me she wants to do a good job and she cares but that isn't rewarded at the company its actually frowned on.

I'm glad I'm gone, you wonder how a corporation can operate like that its not a good place to work, they have good people leaving all the time because they just can't take it anymore.

As for the Scorpio she doesn't like her job but she's trapped there where is she going to find an office job that pays a decent wage she can't so she's stuck. I'm happy with my career she knows it and it P*sses her off that I'm happy and she's not.

OP, you did the right thing. Being in a place like that, you can survive but you will not thrive. Going somewhere where you can thrive you will be more successful and happier too.

If you can convince your friend to go all the better but dont be too disappointed if you cant, it could be a better fit for her (doubtful) but she may not have as much skin in the game as you, maybe her income isnt as important to her, etc.

I found that in a lot of companies, some employees get away with working very hard and some with very little, but if you are getting paid or appreciated little for hard work in comparison then that is when things must change.

+1 on the narcissism.

Most of these posts consist of how he just cannot work well with others, would rather own his own business/work smaller, blah blah. Add in some tidbits about how he's much better than them all and repeat once every few months.

Glad you got out, we get it, you hate corporate and it's amusing to see the replacement being a terror.

But does it need to be repeated every few months? :/
