Toxic work environment

Exactly, if he doesn’t have a new job 100% confirmed then do not leave. Keep looking, do the bare minimum and then if they fire you collect the unemployment plus any other benefits given (if any). You’re not gonna fine a job right now before new year so your just putting yourself in a hole
Probably good advice.
I’ve only done one exit interview and basically told them the truth…the big company that bought us didn’t get a discount and their pay scale couldn’t come close to meeting my requirements.
Continue to do your job with your best effort. You will thank yourself down the road. Your inner integrity is just as important as the integrity you show others.
I worked in a toxic environment for 4-5 year, loved my job, but the department leadership was a mess. What started out as a great managerial leader, turned into a dishonest, untrustworthy director upon his ill gotten promotion (of which we worked our asses off for the team - once five (of eight) of us were gone, man did the respect for him plummet - well deserved.
I stayed in the company - but I do know two of the exit interviews were, let say eye opening to the VP’s and above. Once I did leave, I never even an exist interview / man was I ready.
Stay your course, when the time is right, move on.

Likely true, but like I said I've already been interviewing and with one company I'm three interviews in and have been told one last interview between myself and another. Granted, fully aware all that information doesn't mean sh!t because I might not get it. But I have that plus some possible temp consulting type possibilities in the hopper.
I think I'm glad I have no idea Wtf slack is.
Best of luck.
Best of luck.
id plant my nuts on hr’s forehead but id probably goto jail
Agreed on the screenshots not meaning anything.
However - my stance is that people should be told that they are stupid or a**holes. There's too many people that are allowed to be idiots without being told that they are, in fact, an idiot. It's not like anyone there is going to give him/her a good reference anyway.
Seriously, don’t quit.
I’ve had far too many friends go through the process on roles that still weren’t filled 6-12 months later.
Hey, not everyone is cut out to be an assistant coach at North Carolina.
In my experience, the quality of a job is directly tied to the quality of your manager. Sounds like you have a bad manager. I would consider going in to work tomorrow like you have had a revelation. I would be calm and not combative. Let them show their asses if they must. Find comfort in the fact you have already decided you are going to find a new job. If you are confrontational, they will just use it to justify their ****** behavior. They may fire you, but if they don’t I would put on a good face and continue to work knowing that you have already quit even if not formally. Good luck with whatever you decide. It sucks to have that drain on your emotions.
I’m not saying you are wrong, but we millennials have a reputation for being afraid of losing our jobs. That then in turn seems to play into management feeling like they can lean on and mistreat us. I’m again not going to recommend he quit, but a company shouldn’t just for instance assume you are going to tolerate a never-ending grind it out phase…and you should have relief from micromanaging as well.
I wouldn't quit. If they want you out, let them can you. It is a ticket to a cooler gig. If you think you may have a basis to sue, don't be afraid to run it by an attorney. And as to any exit interview, I would simply say 'The only thing I have to say is I wish you all well'. Good luck.
Oh, they should definitely find a new job.
But unless this affecting your health or you don’t actually *need* a job it is probably better to find the next role before quitting.
Your office sounds like a place that is more driven by the appearance of success versus doing the job well. Sadly, I feel like that is the direction of a lot of companies today. I've noticed the trend in my office as well as many customers that I deal with. Personal relationships are dying.
It's been nearly 30 years, but quitting without a job was a decision I've always regretted. Knowing that I was a good employee and not being able to get a job for 3 months was very defeating. I'd worked since I was a kid on the farm and not finding someone to pick me up was extremely depressing. It affected me more mentally than financially.
So I guess I'll echo the "don't quit without another job" crowd.

That sounds tough and I wish you luck. I just retired because I was tired of similar ********. I think it may be scary to quit but that sounds like the best option for you. Since you're young, I don't recommend scorched earth. Keep it professional and move on.
I’m way too opinionated to be micro managed like that. I have had my fair share of heated arguments with past managers over **** like that. If managers want to come at me like that I’ll make them feel smaller than an ant. **** corporate America and their ********.
Thankfully now I’m in a good spot where I’m free to do my thing and maybe hear from my managers a few times a week.

It’s a collaboration/chat app. Similar to Microsoft teams if you are familiar with it.
