If that isn’t crushing enough, the person goes on to vent about her employer who is described as highly critical and frequently looks for faults in the employees.
“I have been scolded in front of customers. This is wrong, that is wrong.
“One moment it’s A, the next moment it’s B. The smallest mistakes and I would be scolded like I committed a huge mistake,” shared the person adding they are most embarrassed when they were scolded in front of customers.
The person then goes on to confess that they wish to resign immediately, however they are required to give a one-month’s notice. And if they were to resign on the spot, they would need to forfeit their salary.
“My emotions are disturbed. Every time he scolds like that, I can only smile. A boss like this never admits his own mistakes,” the person lamented.
The person’s post has garnered a lot of comments, with many Facebook users expressing their sympathy towards the person’s situation and advising them to leave the workplace.
Some netizens also advised the person to report the employer to the Labour Department for overworking his staff.
