[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First company I quit: it wasn’t office wide culture, but my boss was terrible. She eventually was fired / escorted out for doing something unethical (I was never clear what) but she’d been acting weird for ages. Grievances included the time we had a meeting while we was in her bra (I knocked, she said come in, I apologized thinking I had misheard, and she said “come on in! It’s really hot in here!) and the time she sent a company-wide email that I was no longer allowed unsupervised in the supply room because she had noticed that some “sign here” stickers and a roll of toilet paper were missing. Not only is that just bizarre, but obviously implied I was stealing. And it made me really angry that rather than calling her on her BS I got banned from the supply room and had to ask her every time I needed more pens or paper clips. Especially because she’d ask me why I needed a pen “I let you get one last month”. When she got hauled out by security I already had the wheels moving to quit.

Second company I quit there was rampant sexism. I asked for a raise and made a pitch for it and was told that the job was really something best for “someone who can be one of the guys” and I should focus instead on finance (wasn’t my area) as “women are good at getting other people’s money.” I had some concern when I interviewed and they asked whether I was single or married, but I chalked that up to them being small / not having an HR dept.
