On paper- the job is the job of my dreams. I felt very lucky to get it- it's a very niche market - and unique. I have the prerequisite skills but not necessarily the "niche" knowledge. But this was all known when I was offered the job. I had a 5 hour hand over and 4 sides of A4.
The management structure is an unusual and informal one- they all say I'm doing great. However I work with one direct colleague who is at the same level as me. We have different roles. The colleague from day one has been "prickly" (understatement). The individual did have a lot going on personally and was approaching a stressful time of year for their role- so I kept this in mind and absorbed it. However things culminated on Friday with the individual yelling a torrent of abuse at me and ultimately calling me a slapper. No witnesses obv.
I feel I cannot go on in post. I simply do have to resign don't I? No matter what I do I'm always in the wrong. I'm reasonably confident that management are happy with my work to date- but I can't face any more verbal. Plus I have no chance to learn the "niche" market without being able to ask this individual the odd question . If I ask I get "dunno"- then if i get it wrong ( or imperfect ) I get flamed.
Ironically she can also be lovely - to the point I genuinely think she has MH issues- but that's obv nothing to do with me.
Sorry for the long post- just gutted to have to leave what is on paper the job of my dreams for this-
