Input: Text: tifu because i’m an emotional wreck of a human. this is a rather long story, and goes a few directions, so i apologize for being a little scattered. 

 

i work a menial but essential service job at a hospital. it’s the only job i’ve ever had, and the only real thing to list on my resume. 
i am one of the top performing people in my department, and i have been since the day i began working. i am currently being paid the same hourly wage as the lowest performing individuals and the new hires in my department. 

now, it’s usually obvious to not enter into a relationship at a workplace. but i did just that. it was a rocky relationship of nearly two years with a coworker, and i don’t claim to be perfect in any way. i wanted to keep trying and work things out with my date, but they were not interested and slowly began pretending i was invisible while at work. we’ll come back around to this ex in a moment. 

aside from my ex, i get treated decently some of the time at work, but i’m also frequently disrespected by certain staff members that wear hospital scrubs as their uniform. these individuals don’t like when i do my job, because it means they will soon get another person to take care of. often, i get yelled at in front of other staff members, patients, and visitors. all just for doing my job. i’ve tried reporting these incidents and nothing much comes out of it. 

i’ve also reported numerous problems such as biohazard waste and open needles in garbage cans. needless to say, nothing gets done about these things, and i typically feel unsafe at work. 

all my stress came to a head today, when i tried to be civil and talk to my ex. of course, my ex ignores me time and time again. i got angry, and i know i should not have. i snapped and loudly said “f@&k you, [ex]!” 

naturally, anyone nearby heard me. i knew my supervisor was nearby, and i did it anyway. my department’s director was also near. i hadn’t considered that. 

i was soon approached by my supervisor, who told me my behavior was inappropriate. well i knew that much. but my supervisor also mentioned that my director was angry. (my director is not known for being level headed when an employee puts one toe out of line, so this is definitely a big deal. director is more likely to yell at us for even minor issues, rather than open a discussion to find out what’s going on.)

i was visibly upset by this. i was offered the chance to sit somewhere alone to calm down. as i walked away to find a place, i decided enough was enough. i grabbed my bag, told my boss i was going home, and walked out of the building without another word. i think about 5 people saw me sobbing and sniffling on my way out. 

i’m not sure if i’ll still have a job to go back to tomorrow, and i’m not sure if i want to go back tomorrow. i messed up big time by not controlling myself. 

“don’t date coworkers, duh!!!” i’m sure you’re all thinking that. and i guess i’ve finally learned my lesson. 

hopefully i’ll also learn to keep my cool before i end up making more awful decisions that end up with a big tifu post.

TIFU by screaming at a coworker and walking out of my job.
