Horrible workplace bullying
On my first day at the job I KNEW I had made a mistake. The team lead was showing me around and talking about how much she hated one of the guys on 2nd shift.
As time went on the team lead and the guy on second shift she hates BOTH started bullying me. I think they don’t get along because they’re both power hungry and narcissistic.
Basically team lead talks bad about me behind my back and micro manages EVERYTHING I do. She calls everyone around the building and tells them everyone’s business. She complains that her crew sucks, but 90% of the time she’s on her phone and we are stuck with the brunt of the work. She has now started calling one of the part timers “two teeth” because she has bad teeth (which confuses me bc team lead is also missing a front tooth??). She’s trying to tell us we can’t use our PTO without stipulations, but our contract states otherwise. She’s started a “list” of everything small thing we miss or any little mistakes we make. Even if it’s as small as forgetting to put a tally on the board for office supplies. I am too afraid to go to HR or higher ups about the mistreatment from team lead bc she makes physical threats all the time and screams at us. She says things like “I’m nice until I’m not” or “I’ll wipe the curb with so and so teeth, so don’t try me”. Multiple people have transferred buildings or quit because of this lady.
As for the 2nd shift guy, he sucks just as bad. He has an awful temper and is racist, homophobic and says the most evil things you could imagine. He always slacks on his work and leaves everyone else to pick up his mess. He also constantly talks about politics and conspiracy theories. He’s called the same part timer a “cunt” and screamed in her face. He’s called me a “liberal bitch” and told me to “fuck off”. I went to HR about his racism, using slurs and bullying part time staff and he got a slap on the wrist.
There’s SO MUCH more that I cannot think of at the moment.
I have an interview Wednesday with another company and I’m just praying I get it. I don’t know how much longer I can tolerate this. I literally daydream about wrapping my car around a tree before going into work. I stay up all night and all weekend worried about how I’m going to be treated when I go back into work or anxious about who’s going to yell at who or what I’m going to be criticized for now.
