New job has ended

My head is still spinning. Had trouble waking up this morning. I woke up at 3 AM and heard a person say "Hey". Thought it was my roommate, but heard no footsteps. Roommate said this morning it wasn't him. Think it was the ghost. Bilbo was sound asleep making dream noises and didn't react.

Arrive at work and apologize for being late. One manager pulls me into his office and tells me to close the door. I get told he wanted me fired last Friday over mistakes I made, but other manager wanted to keep me. He fired my predecessor over mistakes they made. He demanded my thought process on every mistake I made since Day 1. What was there to say when I can't recall what I was thinking a week ago. I am still learning their systems with bar cash register, payroll, and accounting data entry/reconciliation. He goes on a tirade how he is a CPA, clients love him to get Christmas gifts (even from a client from my hometown), and how dare I not follow directions perfectly everytime that he set up from years of experience. Do I think he is stupid? Um, no, I do not think that (I think he is rude and disrespectful to everyone, but stupid did not pop in my head). I sense my best will never be good enough for this manager and thought it was best to quit before I got fired. If he is such a fabulous CPA, then he and his wife can do all the work without me. He says, "Okay" as if it was the happiest day of his life. Call me a wimp for leaving a toxic work environment with a manager who treats his employees like disposable garbage. Said goodbye to other manager in complete shock and gave her a hug saying I liked working here. Drove to the hotel crying and asked if I could return full time as a Supervisor since one Supervisor quit. Or even front office manager since we lost the manager. General Manager said I could be Supervisor and HR called later to confirm the promotion includes a pay raise. At least I landed on my feet.

They send text messages cause I forgot the key to the door. Drove back and wife met me outside. I realized I forogt to bring the cupcakes I said I would bring so stopped at home first. She was touched by the cupcake. She explained that who episode was a training session for me to make less mistakes, accounting must be perfect all the time. I replied it didn't come across as a training session. After listen to him shouting at me for half an hour, I quit to just leave the room and not come back. She is upset with me for walking off the job. Excuse me, I am an employee, not a prisoner or a pet dog trapped in the building. I can leave whenever I want and after listening to him shouting at me for an half hour, I never want to come back. I had such high hopes of a different job to learn new skills I can take to any job and now I won't even put thme on my resume. Hugged her good-bye again to leave. I go to work in a few hours at the hotel.
