During the entire meeting, in the back of my mind, I knew I was going to speak with the HR woman at the end of the day and had a general idea what I was going to say. I told her about some of the demeaning things my manager had said about my work and that the atmosphere each day at work was an unhealthy one. I wasn’t derogatory and spoke with a calm, steady demeanor.

Yet, during the entire time I spoke (and as she jotted down notes) I was quite sure all of this was futile. What I say, IMO, wont matter at all, especially compared to what (I presume) my manager has told them.

I hope to god I can find another job soon.
