>guys mainly in their 50s-60s, crazy, calculated, manipulative, angry

>every 2nd day i would get a call from management from these people dobbing me in for minor mistakes
>get switched over to a tech side, there are also a bunch of peasants that dob people just to get them fired
>advised by a tech that dispatch side had wanted me gone and that it was the nature of the company

I've been thinking about resigning, Has anyone dealt with such an environment where this stuff occurs?

The managers seem like they get swayed from left to right, they know they're manipulative but still listen to them. Sort of dont know what to do to be honest. I've done further studies to enter this industry but its not working out.

What would you do?

It's shit testing and hazing OP. Older gen does this simply to fuck with younger gen because "these kids don't know anything". Heard stories from these types, laughing about denying water to the new guy on construction sites. Biting back may get you respect, but complaining and calling out will get you more ridicule. Just work for someone that doesn't hire insufferables if possible

I got half fired/walked out the door of my first job in melbourne but it taught me to never work for any prick who doesn't respect me

I haven't waged since 2019 but I am very selective.
I also take modafinil before interviews so I can confidently question the inner workings of the company before considering

Freight brokers are the most miserable people I ever met. I don't know what it is about that job but it must poison the soul.

When you're working with older people who aren't at the top of their craft, they are always bitter and angry. Ignore them, call them out and keep doing your thing.

With older I mean 40ish. The old geezers that are content, are based and worth talking to.

youre not wrong, and it dosent even matter what theyre delivering! they could be delivering dust and they carry on like loonatics including the cash in transit people. Here in australia it is the most toxic work environment

>>55112485
I genuinely dont see how I'm going to pull through hey. I reckon I might just call it quits and go else where. I useto do mall manager and I felt like I was my own boss - never had a drama and you were respected. The pay was way less but you never had to worry about much - even better than teching

I think toxic management and culture just happens in some places. I have worked in a couple places where management tried to fuck interns, tried to get interns to fuck each other, made nonstop sexual innuendo to each other, had open office romance, etc..

Just leave, work is more than a job to these people. It’s not worth the stress and the down the line reference check when you work somewhere shitty and they stab you in the back as you try to get out.

Idiots like this will not respect you until you stand up to them and call them on their shit. If you don't do this you are getting fired anyway. Nothing to lose.

Being a broker means you’re working with something thats constantly revolving 24/7 with strict timetables, all sorts of legal bullshit to sort through, and requires precision at every step of the way lest something gets super fucked up and now a business or whatever is pissy at you for fucking something up, being paperwork or shipping or whatever. Its one of those jobs where you pretty much have to nolife it, so it shouldn’t be too shocking that those who have been in for a while are a little nuts. And I’d imagine in Australia its all even worse. Don’t get too uppity yet OP, try to stick it out until you find something else, but just keep in mind that the big six figure salary is often dangled in front of you like a carrot on a stick to get you into a shitty job.
>also remember that wherever you go people are still people, which means those dickheads you constantly see on the news, on the roads, fucking anywhere could also just as easily be your coworker or god help you your boss

Find a better company within the field. Sounds like a bunch of spoiled boomer dipshits that do the actual trucking have the worthless management by the balls. Management is too spineless to check their asses and too incompetent to hire replacements. Don't put too much thought into why things are fucked up at a certain company. If it's that bad, just go on auto-pilot and bounce when you can.

It's because they have nothing. Waging is their life and they want to prove they're the superior wagie. Not a superior earner or person that is self fulfilled. No, just the ultimate wagie. You will never work for as many decades as them so you are lesser.
