A Toxic Workplace
I worked in an accounting/finance department of a non-profit organization. Back in late February or early March of 2020, a new accounting manager came on board. A few days after his introductory walkabout at the corporate location with the Recruiting Manager he was walking over to his large cubicle that happened to be adjacent to mine, and as he did, he looked my way and called me "coronavirus.” He continued with the other derogatory comments all through the year often talking about me behind my back with other managers and staff in the organization alluding that I didn't know what I was doing and trying to blame other people's mistakes on me. He called me inefficient and inflexible and tried to give me a very poor performance rating so that I wouldn't be eligible for the merit increase in 2021.
