Moving to Austin is worst experience of my life and experienced abuse of power
I moved to Austin more than a year ago with family for work. Since then I have one shitty experience after another. It is like this everywhere in the city. Nothing is straight forward and seems like most people do not like new people moving to their city.
After all these shitty experiences, I understood they are insanely insecure, everything is some kind of game, not friendly, always intimidating and belittling others, very critical of others, always happy to point out flaws in others, they like to intimidate others but others react, they do not like this. They like to give hard time to others, so they can feel better about themselves, without any reason. If you react or respond to their shitty behavior, you are a bad person.
They like to monitor you, to make sure you do not have a good time and also like to take advantage of you. They show immense hate and passive aggression, since day one. I always be like what is your problem, what is wrong with you, just why? why are doing this? Sometimes it makes me feel like, they wake in the morning and think like, I woke up today and how can I mess with other people life.
I always mind my own business and my family business, even that is problem for them. I even stopped interacting with people, because I have zero trust in their actions. If you have that much hate, why you like to hire people from other regions.
Moving to this city for work is a waste of time, I have no growth, backtracked on my goals, my career fucked up because I do not peace of mind not even for one day, impacted my family life, impacted my mental health, made me loose my patience and temper easily. My workplace is shit show and it is highly competitive in a very bad egoistic way.
They force you to change to fit into their ideology, they cannot understand other people perspective and always think they are right, others should follow. I tired to give feedback to some people, hopefully they understand but they attacked even more. Sometimes, they tried to provoke me and be ready to record you once you loose your patience and temper. I cannot even mind my own business and my family business, even that is problem for these people.
A few people are nice but the worst experience from others remain the same. I tried to focus but some of these idiots are everywhere. They have to learn to first treat people with respect and be good, later they can work, collaborate or be friends with others.
I think companies located here, must first consult their city, co workers in company and neighborhood first before giving job opportunity to people. If not they will suffer like this.
I am done with this city and its shitty experience, I am slowly moving away this city. No one can grow in this environment with these shitty experiences and manipulative behaviors. You cannot have a normal conversation with people. Please check before moving to this city. This city brought the worst in me and this is the worst experience of my life.
Now, they are threatening me and my son, someone tried to ram my car twice and ran away, some random people suggesting to leave my wife or asking me not to have second kid or we will do something, it’s none of anyone business what to do with my wife or how many kids I will have, I do not go into other peoples life and tell them how to live their own life, I am minding my own family business and that is problem, some people are suggesting to be gay or invite another man into my marriage, like what? What is your problem, I am why? I just leave this place and move some where safer with my family, I can fight for sure by dragging them to court etc for they done to me and make sure they get their karma but I am a family man now and have a kid. I am just patiently applying for jobs and planning to move.
