I feel like I do things that have so many unintended consequences. Things just “blow up” in my face over and over. 

I was repeatedly being discouraged by a coworker and manager about not meeting expectations at work. I even got a weird call from the coworker where he sounded drunk!!! At 2pm on a Wednesday!! And he told me that he “hears things” &amp; asked if had i heard any news of being let go and other people thought i was “shit at my job”. Ive been vaguely threatened before in this manner by my Manager in march when the corona hit he told me to “decide” about my position. As if he was not trying to fire me but get me to leave on my own. 

Id been teetering on the edge of leaving my job for months/weeks ( held back by corona ) I finally just had this moment today where i wrote my resignation letter. Of course i never mentioned the weird phone call when it happened may 20th (weeks ago) but I basically used it as reason. My boss said he understood and i sent him this letter: 


“It is with reluctance that I submit this letter. For quite a while now, I have become less and less satisfied with the work situation. A week or so ago I spoke with a fellow employee during work hours and they were presumably intoxicated. They made comments about the general attitude towards me in the work place that were rude and disheartening. This has made it increasingly difficult to feel I’m contributing enough. I doubt my abilities to meet such high expectations placed on the second quarter quotas. In addition, the verbal disrespectfulness by management has made this an unpleasant work environment; the stress of the public health crisis has contributed to making this experience increasingly miserable.”

He texted me: “Your resignation letter was extremely descriptive and may result in some backlash “

Im scared, he tried to get me to name the person but i refused. Then like minutes after the offender call me called my phone and i was too scared to talk to him. He blocked me on LinkedIn. I told my boss that i think it was a personality conflict and not reflective of his work ethic. Im worried I may have got him fired.
