Hi, im new at my job. This is an entire department that was absolutely empty since the last manager was fired for screaming at a female colleague from another state. We are working at a huge mixed private-state-owned telecom company.

Its been a few months of a tired hiring process, but we are finally here and starting to do all the job again.

There is a new manager and 2 “Promoters” like they call us, I and another girl who is older than us (27yo). She was working for the last 5 years at another state-owned institution. She says the wager there were useless and the work environment is toxic. She gave her resignation letter and is still waiting for a letter that states the number of years she worked there, so she can have more benefits and bonuses at our current company.

Well, she already gave 3 resignation letters to the institution boss, who refused to sign them, also she has been the last days calling every single person on HR, but nobody wants to do any paperwork for her because they pass the ball to each other. The conversation always goes like:

  • Karen will do it
  • Hi, im Karen, no, i cant do that, Susan can do that
  • Hi, im Susan, no, stacey is the one who does that, but she already left for the day (at 1 pm) better call Karen

And so on.

My coworker is stressed out and is already threatening to sue if they don’t sign her resignation and give her years of service letter ASAP. The worst part is that HR at our company is giving her a deadline to submit those documents.

This is a really trashy situation, but she seems to like our current company so much more, specially considering that we are 3 new people at this department.
