So I gave my resignation letter yesterday.
3 months short of 18 years and it's time for a change.
"The person" I report to, I refuse to refer to her as anything else, sits in an office about 25 feet away from me & since February 11th, the person has spoken to me face to face once.
"The person" has been here about 2 1/2 and tried to pass assignments to me thru a co-worker and then again thru another co-worker after that first co-worker left.
Both of those people left here within the last 2 years, at least 75% because of "the person".
I've had three conversations with the owner about this and it obviously hasn't improved.
She seemed sad, disappointed and hoped I'd reconsider when we talked yesterday but as they
(A brother and sister own the company) have no intention of addressing the issue, it's time to go.
I'm not going to ask for prayers but some good thoughts would be cool.
*Edit: Of course I could just be an asshole but I did want to add that "the person" told the first co-worker, when the replacements were being interviewed that "the person" didn't want two men working for her. So of the three, the guy was eliminated for being male.
And the one that was hired left after about 6 months (We haven't had a true AP person in the position since last March) started therapy and medication because the job was stressing her out so much.
The new AP person started yesterday and I wasn't even introduced.
