This article is not meant to have any pictures neither is it meant to be an "intelligent" article. It's just something I wanted to share
The company i previously worked for was a good company to work for, and unfortunately it had those people who make you want to quit your job. My manager was okay when it suited her but a complete A@$ when it also suited her.
The team and I had one on one meetings with her every morning where we would talk about our plans for the day(i'm sure some think that theres nothing wrong with that!) But, our meetings were more than just planning the day they got too personal at times- like she would ask about my boyfriend etc- which I didnt appreciate.
You might think that there is nothing wrong with her taking an interest in her employees lives. See, after our meetings we would start our day as planned but she would sit with us telling us about her personal life, her boyfriend her church meetings etc. So we knew that at least 2hours of our day went to her (but that would never be included in our daily meetings). After the personal chats we would carry on with our work and achieve little. She would then throw a fit, give you a verbal warning and treat you like *bleep!* for the next week because you didn't achieve. She called us names and told us that we were incompetent
She threatened us with writing warnings because we didn't reach our monthly targets. It got so bad that she came to me and asked me if I was looking for another job. Tired of her and her nonsense I said yes. she responded by saying it's a good thing that you're looking because thats better than being fired. She put in place all these ridiculous targets in place just so I would fail and she would have enough reason to fire me.
I quit my job before she could do that. However a month later 3 of my former colleagues resigned (the same day) and she was devastated. Senior management got involved and asked my colleagues why they are resigning. They told management all the things that have been happening in the office and that she was the reason they resigned. Management then acknowledged that they knew what she was doing but they hoped it would change. Management called a company meeting to announce that she was no longer a manager and that she was DEMOTED. She was going to do the same job that I did when i left. What's nice about this was that she will be sitting at the very same table I was sitting on, doing the same thing I did and have the same targets I had.
this comes to show that do unto others as you would have them do to you.
She treated us like people living on the streets, now life has taught her a lesson and i hope she learns from it.
I have since found a job and I couldn't be happier...
