Most jobs aren’t like that. It sounds like you just have a bad one, which I’ve had before. Also it would be illegal for you to not be allowed to contact HR. You should at least have some communication from them from company wide emails or something from your onboarding. You could try email HR@companyname.com. Or most companies have an internal directory you look people up on. Try looking on LinkedIn for who works in HR

You say your boss is talking about ‘smut’ could you be specific? What exactly did they say?

Weirdly I have no ability to contact corporate (which includes the HR girl), only the 3 managers in my building can. I have none of their contact information and they run in an entirely different office ._.

When I was at work our colleagues often talked about their periods which was rather awkward considering a couple of us don’t have any uteruses and didn’t want to hear the gory details quite frankly

First she asked me about my hobbies and I told her I really liked reading. She then responds, “the only type of reading I like is sMUt” 🫠 and she goes around the office everytime a boy she thinks is cute comes in trying to get us to set them up like she’s a high school girl even though she’s 26. It’s just strange strange behavior and she’s also the one who acts like a high school bully

Np. Also just so you know you need to be really tactful about how you approach HR. They are NOT on your side. They are there to protect the company. They will not admit wrong by the company or admit that your manager was wrong. Just make sure you know that going in.

I see, odd comment to make, could depend how she said it too, was she serious when she said it or laughing etc. The rest of what you described does sound like an a hole though.
