I’m quitting my job today after months of bullying and harassment.

I have been working at this place for less than a year, closer to 10 months. The first few months were fine, but slowly a shift started. My general manager “Cathy” and another manager “Lynn” started making my job a living hell. Purposely embarrassing me in front of our coworkers, criticizing me on things I was previously praised for, and overall, just being mean to me. Here are just a few examples:

1. I put on some hand lotion because my hands were dry, Cathy starts talking to our other coworkers about how she’d never wear something that smelled like that and anyone who wore Bath&Body works was childish and immature, I was wearing the Jergens Shea Butter Lotion. I was the only other girl there and I also am less than half her age.

2. Cathy and Lynn were laughing and talking about me with another coworker as I walked past them because of a “mistake” I supposedly made after they told me to do it.

3. Someone from corporate came through the drive thru and said I hit all of my marks and gave me all 10 of my points. As soon as he walked away, Cathy and Lynn came up to me criticizing my work and correcting me on things.

They will also leave me all alone on the floor to take orders, cash them, bag them, and deliver them to cars so that they can talk in the office. If I take a while to finish all of them, they’ll come out of the office and tell me I need to do better. They’re also just very passive aggressive and speak to me like I’m stupid while also relying on me to pick up their slack. It’s gotten to the point that none of my other coworkers will speak to me, and I’ll go my entire shift without having a conversation, except for one coworker I’ll call Jim.

Jim is 10 years older than me, with children, and asks me out nearly every time I work with him. He’s always trying to hug me or look for an excuse to touch my shoulder or waist, says he dreams of me and continuously hits on me. I am in a relationship which he knows about, and I also tell him that he’s making me uncomfortable. He excuses it as jokes, and he does these things in front of management. Everyone just laughs.

Finally, yesterday evening I heard back from a job that I had interviewed at Monday. They offered me the position and I accepted. It’s more pay, closer to where I live, and a huge step up professionally. I wrote my letter of resignation last night and plan to turn it in today. I know they’ll take me off the schedule anyway, but it feels so good to leave. I stuck it out as long as I could, but I cannot handle the bullying and sexual harassment anymore. Wish me Luck!
