Hi all! My first post on reddit in a while but I desperately need some advice, or at least some place to vent my feelings. I will try to keep it organized but I apologize for any jumbledness. I also have not had many jobs so I don't know what's fair to expect from employers so validation, if applicable, would be lovely
I work with dogs at a place that offers daycare, training, etc. when I'm not doing classes. The people who work there are more on the quirky and accepting side which is what I loved about it initially. But as I've come to realize, it's very toxic. Here is a basic list of some issues I have with it.
You-should-suffer-for-this-job culture: The work is hard and sometimes dangerous, the pay is low, ever since I started there hasn't been enough staff so killing yourself with hours out of loyalty and working even when you're sick or injured is encouraged implicitly. One time I ran outside where other staff were and projectile vomited. I was ok, but no one asked asked me to go home because that's the norm. Many coworkers talk in a joking manner about how much they've vomited at work, etc. as if it's normal.
COVID: They're not protecting us. We do not have adequate space to eat without masks away from where those working normally are. We received one vague email saying a staff member tested positive, and I had to personally message a friend/shift leader to see when and where that person had worked. The following day, pizza was given to us out in the open, not safe. Another person I work closely wkth I found out a while after tested positive and nobody notified us. Every day we fill out the standard have you had contact, what's your temp form and so technically we have to lie on it since we've been exposed to a coworker, not that they care.
I have ADHD and struggle with some tasks, as well as remembering how to do certain things when I've been away for school for a while. Recently, though I've worked there a while, they seem to always assign me really basic, easy tasks that beginners normally do, without saying anything to me or giving me a chance to discuss it.
TOXIC Cliquiness: several of my coworkers are very close friends with each other and upper management, including even regularly going over to all of our boss's house. Favoritism definitely happens, and as soon as someone gets fired, no matter the reason or how close they were to the person, they'll immediately start talking shit about them. I've also regularly heard those who supervise and work alongside me gossip with me and talk shit about other coworkers and managers, sometimes with our boss.
----‐---------- Here's my current conundrum though: Now that my feelings have been validated by someone else and I know it's not just me, I really wanna resign and go elsewhere. However, I also would like to sit down and have a talk with one of my managers about at least one of these issues, and am in a unique position to do so, since I'm on their "good side". I have no interest in telling them for their sake, but because I have a friend there who has been very effected by this culture and isn't in a good position to speak up due to fear of being fired. So I want to talk to one of my supervisors about this, but I don't want to risk losing this job as a reference, as I've been here a while and don't really have any others I could use. If you've read this far, thank you<3
TLDR; Work culture is very toxic and I want to talk to a supervisor about it , or at least a more benign issue like covid safety as a concerned employee, then wait a bit and resign. I have a friend there who is not in a position to do so due to fear of getting retaliated against so I don't want to leave without trying to help. However, I also need the job as a reference later. Is there any way I can have the best of both worlds?
