Reason for leaving job without badmouthing company with bad management? |
I was verbally attacked by a coworker, my lead didn't even discuss it. He said since I mentioned quitting two times before he WANTED my resignation. Said go to 3rd shift or quit. He said this when outside with my SO! Manager, out of state, didn't care--yelled at us for emailing and not working (when I wrote her to forward the email, which complained about everything I did, I was at home!). She said that I couldn't work with my SO, who was a lead (the OTHER lead did ALL my reviews. There was NO written fraternization rule, CS said they didn't need one. I worked with him since 2001 on 2nd. This job had a good salary. I'm afraid to put it on applications, though I am willing to start low and learn something else. They think I won't stay. I liked my job and wanted to stay, but they were just awful to me. I didn't try taking a LOA--2/19 to 4/16, was a vacation blackout. I like 3rd, so I can't give that reason for leaving, but a person nasty to me was on it. I was there for 9 years. This is how I would word it: "Reason for leaving previous company: Ethical conflicts with direct management. Felt the best thing for myself and the company would be to seek a better opportunity with another company." The interviewing manager will probably ask more about it, in which case you can decide the amount of detail you should provide. The thing to remember in applying for another job, is you are selling yourself to the new company and have to make the new company understand how you will be an asset to them. Things that happened at a previous job do not always have reprocussions in this regard. Source(s): I hire people. I'd call my union rep. Your company should have an EEO Office. Equal Employment Opportunity Office. There are discrimination laws. Also harassment laws. Also laws about "hostile" work environment. Odd, I'm going through the same thing. We're having a meeting with a moderator on Monday June 4th. It's going to be interesting. Sounds like a mess. Leaving may be a great answer & save you in the long run. Before leaving it would be best to spend somemore time there doing whatever is needed to mend feelings and your position. Even if it is to appolize to those who you feel don't deserve it or happily taking the bad shift. They will most likely remember your positive actions and forget the negative past. This will seem like you are lowing yourself but really you are only not allowing them to ruining your future somewhere you can be of great service and rewarded in the long run. Put it on your resume. State that you want new opportunities. If they don't hire you, start with an employment agency. I did that myself when I was forced to take time out of the workforce due to an illness. Every place wanted a "credible" explanation for the gap in my record. I was fed up with people not "sure" if they wanted to believe the truth so I worked as a temp. It was yucky at first with the low pay but after a number of assignments I got offered a permanent position with an excellent employer. They did not even question the gap. They went by my on-the-job performance! 9 years makes it tough to leave off resume. I would not open issues, just say corporate philosophy changed and many workers were confused as to job description, yourself included, in a large group. |
