I quit my job because my manager constantly criticized me in front of the team. Now I'm wondering if I should have stayed and learned to deal with it instead of walking away without another offer. Did I make a mistake?

  • It is always best to HAVE a job while you look for a new one.

  • There's a quote that says, "You can't make someone love you by giving them more of what they already don't appreciate." Your manager chastised you in... front of an audience because she doesn't respect you. I fear had you stayed her disrespect would've continued and your peers would've disrespected you as well. You made the right decision! It's better to leave under one bad situation than multiple. People will think you are the problem had you stayed longer.  more

  • Good workers are the first to leave a toxic job. That's why it gets worse, because the people that know better left. Don't look back

  • It really depends on the fact on the ground, are you really that bad that you are being criticized that way? Quiting wasn't the solution, the solution... was humility and determination with boldness to turn your boss around. more

  • It all depends on why you were being criticized. If the manager was the problem, it was better to have first found some other job to move to before... leaving the one you left. more

  • You should have stayed.Have you seen the president stepping down because criticism?

  • I went through the same once affected my health developed blood pressure and had to quit, stayed for almost one year before the next job, my advise if... it is not affecting your health develop a thick skin and cop with it. But since you have left maybe in your next job do not be haste to quit, seek advise and direction first. the answer might be closer than you think. more

  • If the criticism was justified. you needed to improve your performance. If you felt your work was fine and you were unfairly picked on, then you... probably made the right decision. It is generally better to line up an offer before quitting. Good luck in your search and hope you find a good match. more

  • employment just make sure you have a backbone of strength and durability to NOT tolerate any form of employment harassment and degrading in front of... other employees and go straight to the human resources manager or the district manager and file workplace bullying and verbal harassment claims bc I own my own corporation and I have written policies about workplace bullying and verbal harassment and there's a zero tolerance policy that I have in my company  more

  • I had dealt with this kind of work environment before with my former employer the hiring manager at IHOP back in early 2007 I was young 22 years old... and I must've not been performing up my manager's precise preferences or not by the IHOP's owner's (SOP) and she literally would talk 💩 directly to my face and belittling me saying "I should have NEVER hired you and you're worst front of house server I've EVER had hired" but here's the funniest thing about that situation is that my manager's upper management the GM he actually liked me and he sorta let me do my own thing bc I had server experience a few years back before coming to IHOP so I did know the steps of guest services but this lady manager was like 6'1 - 6'2 and skinny like Olive Oyl (Popeye's GF) 😄😆 and was a staunch supporter of Republican politics which is one of the ONLY reasons why she got along with me on most days and I pretty much avoided her as much as possible. I think for your situation the next time your of ...... more

  • In this case, you have several choices
    1 Ask if you can be rehired
    2. If rehired, ask for a private meeting with him to discuss the issue.
    3. Grow a... thicker skin. That's tough to develop and you can change the narrative you have in your head. He / She will
    /will probably not change unless he gets feedback from a third party. I wish you well in what ever you choose to do.
    4. In my practice, if possible is for me to not quit a job unless I have another one lined up.
