Toxic Manager forcing to resign

Hi folks, It’s a very detrimental time for me. I have been working with an organisation I don’t want to name. My manager is beyond Toxic, each day there hasn’t been a single day he hasn’t yelled at me and few other new folks in the team regardless of us doing heavy sweeping.

He is so Toxic that even through I have leaves he does not approve them, recently someone in my family passed away even through I discussed I will be out of station and would be on leave to which he agreed. He has rejected it on the 2nd last day, when I have booked the flights and assured my family that I will be there at this grave time when they need me.

I am at a point where he has pushed me to a point wherein I don’t have an option but to resign which he did around the financial year closing so the increment will be divided amongst less number of people.

I have an education loan to look after and responsibilities of my parents, I am the single breadwinner in the family at this point of time. Hanging in there is becoming really difficult.

Any advice or help would really help.

You do need to jump ship, for the short term you can approach the HR and record your manager's behaviour, however once you complaint, your time will also start ticking. So start looking out. It's tough time but seriously, taking lower paying job for sometime is better than the mental crisis in the long run.

I am sorry for what you're going through.

I did reach out to the HR for mercy but since then it has gotten worse. I am okay with a lower paying job but over the period of time my mental health has taken a toll and I am finding my confidence to be at rock bottom.

Exactly, also remember that if your manager is so open to grill you then he is definitely open to fire you when the feedback cycle is done.

Damn, once again an EdTech.

There definitely has to be something which makes EdTech companies crappy as hell.

These guys aren’t like other Edtechs, they have brick and mortar businesses in terms of Colleges and the online entities Profits are transferred to their universities and they stay tax free.

So, indirectly they own colleges too?

As in full-fledged college and not some upskilling centres?

I would suggest otherwise.. Market is not good for job seeker currently.. I understand you have gone through alot, but hold on till you get something in your hand Without a job, you will be at a point where you might accept anything that comes to your way, especially when you have Education Loan Most important things to do at this point is keep your calm, get salary and look out for job
