people do not quit jobs, they quit managers and I personally would like to quit some coworkers.
Basically the manager says in public that I’m good and passionate about the job but privately she writes the opposite. She never talked to me about what I need to improve, if anything. And then has the gall to tell me to trust her if I want to open up to her. Two faced, not to trust.
I only found out when another manager read to me what she wrote about me.
I was never good at playing office politics. FWIW I don’t like the job, I do it because I need money and I’m good at it.
Your job isn’t loyal to you, why should you be loyal to your job?
Any reason is good enough to quit a job if you’re thinking of quitting.
What matters is how you feel going in each day.
I would advise when possible to not quit until you’ve got something else lined up however.
The only answer here is “do what you want but make sure you have a plan”.
⭐YES⭐
Any reason you feel to leave a job is a good enough reason. Just make sure you have somewhere else already lined up before you hand in your notice.
Start looking for another job.
Yes
Do you think this person will sign off on raises or promotions, or any other benefits?
Dump them. In your exit interview say, “manager has declined to comment on my performance, but has shared criticisms with other people. Understanding and improving the quality of my work is important, and I do not believe I am able to do that when facts are concealed from me.”
Work relationships are built on trust. This is a rough time to be looking for work, but in your case please consider finding another job and only then quitting this one.
I peaced out of a job almost 2 years ago, something very toxic as well, and I’m 100% better for it. I hope you can find an environment that’s better for you.
You don’t need justification to change jobs. Feeling like you want to is enough reason.
Doesn’t that entirely depend on your perspective for the future? Can you find a better workplace and is your situation going to improve? Then yes, do it. Is it going to stay the same, or you take a massive hit considering salary or something? Then have a good think what’s more important to you…
Start looking for a new job. Can get an increase plus dont have to deal with 2 faced managers.

Bullshit. I’ve quit jobs before. like the job I had at a veneer mill. It was boring me to tears, was so loud that ear-pro was mandatory–about 110dB, IIRC–and I was spending about an hour each day digging splinters out of my hands. (Couldn’t wear gloves b/c they didn’t have the dexterity needed for picking up a single sheet of veneer without breaking it.) I don’t think I even saw my manager more than a few times in the brief period i worked there.
People also quit because of low pay. I guess I’m lucky to have never had a bad manager, but that hasn’t stopped me from quitting 😅
Just be sure to find another job before quitting. Always easier to find a job when you already have one.
it is always the people that make any job worth doing.
I found out a manager was doing exactly what you described and it was my last day. you might want to make it yours too even if you need to hang around long enough to line something else up, just check out and don’t give them any indication. I’ve had enough bad managers in my time to know you need enough savings to walk away immediately if they try to fuck with you.
You don’t need permission from the internet, if you’re asking the question you already know the answer.
Most of the jobs I have left has been as a form protest. Manager/boss say or do something then I am happy to take my labour to a new career.
We’re all worth respect and if a job can’t offer that then they aren’t worth our labour.
