There are certain toxic traits that one can endure and there are some that shouldn't be heard of. That staff endure certain treatment doesn't mean it is right.
I recently quit a new job when I had none to fall back on. I have never done that before.
I was so excited about the job and the opportunity to learn a new skill since I didn't have experience (cold calling) and I said hey we got this we are going to learn and be the best.
But the leaders are toxic. I don't know which is worse the floor manager or the overall boss.
But I'll go with the floor manager because he downgrades people during meetings and every question asked is answered incorrectly and laced with abusive words.
For example: A colleague not been up to a month on the job asked- “the clients don't know about Nvidia”. You know you feel his reply will be to ask the client if they are familiar with AI. Use what they are familiar with to explain what Nvidia is rather he replied that 10 years ago nobody knew about Telsa. Did you read the article shared this morning (the article had nothing to do with educating a client about Nvidia or AI)? He humiliated the guy in front of all the staff
He went further to say he works with people who have low IQs and are mediocre
Another scenario- Staff met him privately about the extra hour that is not in the contract and he spoke about it in the meeting- he said some stupid people came to me talking about timing, but he didn’t end there he kept asking them questions and humiliated 1 that gave an incorrect answer.
That was the point I made the decision- I couldn't take it anymore because If I kept pointing out the faults they would say you are new (not up to 2 weeks) and you are complaining and if I manage the situation and complain after a month or 2 they will say but you have been okay with it why complain now?
I just resigned and had my peace of mind. I don't want to be housed where I have to teach leaders how to treat their staff. And I know the longer I stay I will speak up about it and be given new names (negatively influencing others, I have a bad attitude, Nigerians are problematic).
Unfortunately, I don’t blame such leaders I blame the staff that put up with such ill-treatment, they encourage such leaders to treat them like trash
The Red Flags:
- A lot of new staff: They are always hiring because staff keeps resigning (the same day I resigned 4 other people resigned).
- They work overtime daily and that's not in the contract.
- On the last day of the month, they work till midnight (though optional if you are stubborn). When it was announced I thought it was a joke until I saw the pictures.
- There are 3 breaks, 2 short tea breaks of 15 minutes, and 1 hour lunch break. However, targets are given to each teams-if you don’t meet the target 1 hour is slashed to 30 minutes and you don’t get a short break. Sometimes you meet the target and a meeting is scheduled during break time. You dare not be absent and the break is gone.
