Is it unprofessional and OK for me to admit that I despise my workplace? Haha.

They ignored my harassment complaints, then placed me on a PIP. So I'm about to quit with 0 notice. Already have a new job lined up!

And speaking of that. I was told that I "didn't use enough buzzwords" for my harassment to be taken seriously. I have a recorded audio of management telling me that they ignored me.

Since we're working with a skeleton crew of 4 workers and 2 stores. They're going to have a grand time when 3 of us quit together

Worst part is my DM yelling at me and sticking their finger in my face. She has a grudge against me because I got HR to admit DM messed up. Which is why I got placed on the PIP

If this is the expected and "sanctioned" behavior of management and HR - then you are right to leave. Harassment and disrespect in the workplace are unacceptable.

So I have family situation I've been dealing with and yesterday at a company function outside the office, my supervisor brought it up in front of a bunch of people.
