My wife recently started a new job, which, for a variety of reasons seemed like a really good new opportunity for her. It was also a nice bump in income for us, although we have all of our money, retirement, and benefits bases covered through my job. I have always considered her job as extra income.
Anyway, everything has turned to shite, and she is really annoyed and depressed that everyone at her new workplace is constantly criticizing her work and pointing out mistakes. She is routinely criticized for not knowing how to do things that she was never even trained on. A few days ago a few people gave her crap for not doing something that their department has NEVER done. An e-mail came down the pike saying, um, that department DOES NOT DO THAT.
To be clear, the fact is that these people are rock-bottom piece of trash human beings, who, among other things, instruct her to lie to clients. They have no idea how to hire, train, and motivate employees. They have no idea how to staff an office and cultivate anything other than a toxic work environment. By their own admission, they are "desperate" for good employees and have a toxic workplace environment. The two top people at this company are constantly at each others' throats. Losers all around!
My wife has picked up on more than a few clues around the office that she is getting fired. She is very surprised that it did not happen on Friday.
I really hate seeing her so depressed, but we are both on the fence about what to do. Here are the options:
Quit? (she will be goddamned if she will give them two weeks' or even two picoseconds' notice. They are very short staffed right now, but fcuk them!) I think this will look/sound much better when she goes on her next job interview.
Stick it out and wait to get fired? (and this way, collect unemployment----I guess...)
I advised her to lay it on the line to her boss (someone who claims to be her "friend"), but my wife thinks it is hopeless. She thinks they are only keeping her on to cover for someone's vacation.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
