I've recently quit a job that was fast becoming intolerable. The job involves working at a restaurant which has two locations: the one I was hired for, and a second one; until recently, although both locations were under the same ownership, they had completely separate staff, and I had never been to the other store. This recently changed, with the owner deciding, for complex reasons I don't fully understand, to have management from both stores work at both locations.
This includes someone who is incredibly nasty and abusive, and spends a great deal of time complaining about various problems, usually to someone who is not responsible for the issue; dealing with him leaves a lot of us in exceedingly foul moods, even going above and beyond what seems reasonable given what he says or does. I've come to suspect that he is transferring his frustration into other people, which you've said before is a common occurrence.
A few days ago, I went to work at the other location, since several people had called in sick over there. I happened to know that the terrible manager would not be there, and in fact would be at the store I normally worked at, which was part of why I decided to go over there, a decision I fairly quickly regretted.
On the physical level, the store is nice enough; in fact, it has a better layout than the one I normally work with, but it felt toxic in a way which is hard to describe. The atmosphere of the store felt off somehow, in a way which left me feeling very uncomfortable and unusually irritable the entire time I was there.
The people who work there tend to be either very new, or exceptionally foul and unpleasant people; there is apparently a very high rate of turnover for staff there, with most people who are competent and/or pleasant leaving within a few months of getting a job there, leaving behind the core of exceedingly foul and unpleasant people, who do the absolute minimum needed to get by. The food, which is the same as at the store I usually work at, also tasted off somehow, in a way I'm not sure I can explain.
Finally, the location also has a lot of problems with people getting sick, at far higher rates than the store I normally work at; this is part of why I'd never met any of the people who worked at the other location before I went over there.
Does this sound like what I was sensing was that the inner plane environment in that store has gone septic, possibly as a result of having had that abusive manager pouring out his frustration into the environment there since he started working there around 40 years ago?
