Notes
My most recent principal investigator was extremely emotionally abusive, manipulative, invalidating, and gaslit me constantly. After she submitted her letter of recommendation for grad school, I reached out to HR and the Disabilities Resource Center at my institution immediately. They were able to draft a list of accommodations for me, and my abusive supervisor was initially on board. Months passed, with irritations/disrespecting boundaries/accommodations, but I wanted to stick it out until I got into grad school and she promised me my first first-author publication. I committed to school but still decided to stick it out until the end for that first author pub, but then Wednesday was my last straw. She downright disregarded an accommodation, HR was even copied on the email thread, she gaslit me and told me that I need to be “desensitized” to her using all caps to convey urgency and demand me to do tasks, and that I need to be available constantly for impromptu meetings. HR told me to quit at that point, told me I am under no contract, and that I don't even need to put in my two weeks, so I did.
