    CEO gathered us all in the conference room for company quarterly report. Wasn't a particularly positive quater (haha!! to *!)
  • 03
    Once he was finished with the stats he started talking about how we all need to pull together as a family in order to meet next quarters profit margin.

    All I could think about was how every time he would walk past my desk, he made some nasty comment about how I'm dressed for the day. My manger tells me it's sarcasm but it always makes me want to cry.

    (I don't wear anything particularly strange, just office attire with a bit more frills and layers, because I like fashion)

    I've explained to them that I'm autistic and can't understand sarcasm, so it's just a random unwarranted insult to me. They laughed It off, pat me on the back and sent me on my way. He continued.

    So, when he made his 'motivational' speech about how we all need to be a family to take in as much profit as we can for him, I scrunched my face up and frowned. Pretty natural reaction I would say.

    Next day, I'm called into a meeting and given a strike on my probation. I was told 'a coworker' complained about my 'anti productive mindset toward company profits'.

    Put my resignation in the next day. Of course followed by all the fuss and panic managers go though when their mistreated employees finally take a stand.

    Thanks for the flowers, and you! EDIT: woah. I'm processing all of these comments. Thank you all for your concern and for gently explaining to me that the whole situation is a lot more serious than I thought.

    I will not be working the rest of my notice period. I've ordered a ring doorbell in case he comes by my house again. Thank you all so much for warning me, I would never have made this connection on my own.

    Also, I can sometimes understand sarcasm if I know the person very well, because I'm used to the way they speak and what they would and would not say in jest.
