  1. Hi, My name is Katie Crowds.
  2. Today I'm going to tell a story of a situation
  3. that happened to me in a toxic workplace environment.
  4. Have you ever worked with a grumpy, extremely racist, apathetic
  5. and ecocentric boss?
  6. Well, unfortunately, I have.
  7. And there was an unpleasant experience when Abbas is not
  8. a leader and lack of work ethic in people's skills
  9. will indeed harm a workplace environment.
  10. Furthermore, the outcomes of their behaviors can lead to many
  11. problems at work.
  12. When I first started at my previous job, I noticed
  13. a very tense atmospheres atmosphere between all the girls in
  14. the office.
  15. Then I experienced myself the horror of waking up every
  16. morning with the stress on my head because I had
  17. to see my boss every day along with me.
  18. There were all there were other five girls in the
  19. office, but I was the only girl with accent.
  20. Without a doubt, I have felt miserable for over two
  21. years. As time as time went by, things were getting
  22. worse. A simple work related issue was usually transformed into
  23. a big matter, for example.
  24. Yeah, one day me and my one of me and
  25. one of my pears were having a funny conversation about
  26. procedures. We both were overcoming one another's objection about which
  27. procedure was more efficient and productive.
  28. However, both procedures were accurate.
  29. When our boss came into the office and heard our
  30. conversation, he thought we were trying to figure it out
  31. what to do.
  32. So he got very upset and started questioning my Mexican
  33. experience and knowledge.
  34. On another occasion, he asked me to stay off the
  35. clock because he I needed to finish a report and
  36. he was not willing to pay for overtime.
  37. When I refused to do so, he told me that
  38. I should be more thankful because he was feeding me
  39. and my girls to make it worse, He even made
  40. up a few confrontations between the girls to avoid confidentially
  41. confidentiality between us.
  42. Consequently, my health was also affected by that situation.
  43. In other words, all the stress at work was having
  44. a big impact in my blood pressure, my mental health
  45. and even myself.
  46. Esteemed, I used to be tense all the time.
  47. Therefore, my back was killing me and the headaches were
  48. uncountable. I started taking medication to control my blood pressure
  49. and I got to the point where I found myself
  50. crying many times because I thought I would I wasn't
  51. going to be able to find a better job.
  52. One day, at a meeting with one of the clients,
  53. he asked me for something I wasn't sure of.
  54. So I answered with insecurity, and he got very upset.
  55. As usual that day.
  56. He was really harsh on me and was denigrated me
  57. in front of everyone.
  58. After the incident, the clients, uh, broke up his business
  59. relationship with my boss and he apologized on his behalf.
  60. During that night, I thought a lot about my work
  61. performance, my sense of belonging to the company and my
  62. health. And I realized that I was given more than
  63. 200% as an employee.
  64. And now I was not being appreciated.
  65. Yeah. Finally, I decided to speak to my manager.
  66. I turned in my resignation letter because rather than a
  67. place to make money, I believe my job is like
  68. my second home.
  69. And it should be pleasant and uncomfortable and comfortable as
  70. possible. Mhm.
  71. Okay. Mm.
  72. Ultimately, I learned a lesson.
  73. I should not allow anyone to mistreat, denigrate or humiliate
  74. me or anyone around me.
  75. Moreover, we cannot tolerate this type of situation under any
  76. circumstances because the consequences can be reflected in our physical
  77. and our mental health.
  78. Thank you.
