Hello hivers. For the Nth time, I got home today feeling dejected.
At first, I thought I finally got the best job I ever had. It paid much more than my previous ones. My daily task is just a piece of cake but it pays 4 times my previous job.
However, everything changed when the HR director’s husband was hired. He is probably the laziest person I’ve met. Not only does he fail to do his job properly, but he procrastinates, sleeps most of the time, and even bullies others. His behavior influences other coworkers, making the work environment even more difficult. He once bullied me about my looks, and although I let it slide, it still affects how I feel about coming to work. There came a time when I felt like it's too hard to get out of bed just thinking about how I will be bullied again. It became torelable after a couple of months though.
My manager is a nice person, but he plays favorites and tells confidential things that employees share with him. He assigns extra work without pay, giving only a "thank you" in return. He even gaslighted me into thinking I would be promoted to a managerial position, only to get me to train new hires for free.
After learning my lesson, I decided to stop trying so hard and be JUSTIN. Doing JUSTINenough each day just like what my colleagues are doing. Now, I just do what’s expected of me. After all, I know that my efforts will never be appreciated in this toxic environment.
Despite all of this, I love my job as well as the managers I work with in the United States—they are the best I've ever had. But my local manager and the local coworkers are making it harder to stay positive. The big question on my mind is: Should I resign and find a job where I feel emotionally better, or should I endure this toxic atmosphere for the sake of the good salary?
This is not just simply to rant and say negative about my coworkers. This is a tough decision. The money is tempting, but I know that my emotional well-being is also important. Should I quit or stay?
I used to feel excited whenever I am looking up on one of these buildings before, trying to find which floor we are located. I feel excited about going to work and do something new and exciting.
Now, the only thing I'm excited about is going home.
I only enjoy walking here and get to the station as fast as I can.

You better make a decision now kesa ipagmamaya mo pa, when your emotional being is already down by 80% because of those people. I'm actually amazed that you can still go on despite what happened, my gosh, bullying? And really coming from a lazy bast*r(|? Whoaaaa
You know what keeps me going? Yung bills, tuition fee at allowance ng mga kapatid ko 😅 Gusto ko na din talga magresign kaso mahirap makahanap ng work na same or mas mataas ang sahod tapos mag start na naman ako from scratch. That's why it's really hard to decide.
Sorry to hear about your experiences with some of your co-workers. It's tough to be in a place where your well-being and emotional health are in jeopardy. I hope you get to decide what you really want.
Thank you so much for emphatizing with me. I also hope I get to decide soon or find a job with the same salary but with a better environment.
In my opinion it's best to quit but it's easier said than being the one to do it. But bare in mind that you mental health matters. But if it can be resolved by communicating then that's much better
You see, I know I have the courage to communicate my thoughts but the only problem is that those people are too close-minded to listen and accept their wrong doings.
Then i guess it's the best move is to quit in my opinion
Thanks for sharing your insight. I hope I get the courage to quit soon 🙏
