I work in residential mental health and my boss is a progressive queer wiccan. I thought we'd get on great.
But then she started using an HR mistake i told her about to falsely bill medicare, and lied about not knowing in official emails. She tried to force me to pay for a company parking ticket and acted shocked when i wouldn't.
When a staff was punched in the head by a resident in the evening she took hours to arrive on site, told the staff they had to finish their shift before going to the hospital, then let them drive themself after a possible concussion, and tried to get staff to reclassify it as a non critical incident.
Not truly evil, but sociopathetically dishonest in her dealings, and about who she is.
i've encounter a lot of that too amongst the vocally progressive types. massive hypocrisy.
i avoid anyone who bangs on about how progressive or queer they are now. it's just not worth the risk.
She doesn't really go on about it though.
There's a kind of terminally online identity-yelling that's easy to spot and definitely a red flag, but she rarely talks about her personal life at work, other than mentioning samhain and yule.
I found out who she claims to be from coworkers who use mainstream socials and stalked her.
oh I've had problematic co-workers that went on about their queerness to the point where it was sexual harassment. like loudly talking about the anal sex with a trans person they had over the weekend.
thankfully they got fired.
Oh that sounds lovely.
If you say it was problematic in context i have to believe you, but i would happily take that over the advice a psychic gave them, obviously made up trauma dumps, or how the eastern orthodox church is the one true faith - all real examples from my current coworkers.
That field is filled with some of the most compassionate and truly saintly people. However, plenty of monsters hiding behind the "nice" facade too.
