Work and Gaslighting: Anyone there?

Anyone there?

By Anonymous - 22/03/2021 11:01

Today, I'm still waiting for my current job, which gaslit me in various ways for a year, to acknowledge my month's notice. My new job starts in 3 weeks. I'm genuinely not sure if my (ex) managers and HR are all on furlough, or if they're just fucking with me. FML

Today, I was babysitting a five year old boy. Somehow the topic of relationships came up, he asked me if I had a boyfriend. When I told him that I was single, he got all excited and asked if he could be my boyfriend. It would have been cute except he was the first guy to ever ask me out. I'm 18. FML

Today, it was my daughter's birthday. She had been wanting a cat for a long time, so I went to the animal shelter and got an orange one. As soon as she saw it, she ran upstairs screaming, "GINGER! GINGER!" She refuses to come downstairs until I get rid of "the soulless creature." FML

Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend at work. Because she was "bored and didn't feel like seeing me" she thought it would be funny to call security and claim that I was stalking her. There is now a picture of my face at her workplace, and anytime I "pester her again" the cops will show up. FML

If you have given a written, dated and signed notice, it doesn't really matter whether they acknowledge it or not? You have done your part.

You don't need their permission to quit. Keep the receipts and walk out. Why do people think they need permission to quit a job?

Indeed, although I would add to send it by a means that they cannot refute they have received it, so signed-for delivery or read-receipt on an email.

Keep all the evidence you have regarding your notice. Emails, texts.. Everything! As long as you have that, it doesn't matter. They don't have a say in whetever or not your notice is valid, especially after a year. Go to your new job. If your old workplace causes you trouble because of the notice, sue them; they had a year to answer.

but like just walk out, if you're done wasting your time with them, just move on. if the roles were reversed they'd drop you in one 5min talk without any forms of notice, don't be afraid to do the same
