I was job hunting for years - being a SAHM for 8 years (so a large gap in my CV), and my age, all counted against me. Nobody would give me a chance.
I finally got a job - a very interesting one. I enjoy the work. But...the boss is an absolute narcissistic bastard (or in the words of our office 'queen'' - an absolute cunt. Not being nasty lol, he call himself a queer princess ). Everyone is terrified of putting a foot wrong. He (the boss, not the princess) rips everyone to pieces on an almost daily basis . He watches the staff on CCTV. Every person there knows what he's like, but every single person jumps at every chance to stab anyone else in the back. You literally cannot fart in the toilet without someone running to him and telling him. You cannot trust anyone - and I mean that. If you tell someone: so and so had very smelly breath today, they run straight to him and tell him what you said. You are then berated. I can't understand why everyone doesn't just support each other so they don't get into trouble.
At the moment he's focusing on me. I absolutely cannot do anything right. I'll write a perfectly good e-mail, and he'll have a go at me, change the word order around and tell me that's the way it should be done. He has a go at me because the spacing on my indent is 0.01mm too large. Today he spoke to my manager about my unacceptable behaviour of opening my mouth during a meeting and contributing to the conversation. They ask for ideas, and when you come up with (perfectly good) ideas, they get shot down without any consideration and told not to waste their time. I'm a 46 yo, intelligent woman with over 20 years experience ffs, and I get treated like a naughty 5-year old.
My last relationship was very abusive, and the confidence I've managed to slowly build up again after 5 years away from him, has been completely destroyed in the space of 3 months. I'm scared to go to work in the morning. I have two DC to support though, and I need a job, but it's seriously affecting my mental health. If I wanted to be treated like this, I would've stayed with my ex. My DWP job coach has recommended I stay there 'till I find another job, but I don't know how much more I can take, and finding part time work is not easy at all.
I suppose this is more of a rant and blowing off steam than a AIBU, and I know I shouldn't just say fuck it and walk out, but the temptation is so big. When my manager looks at me, I automatically say: what have I done wrong this time.
Thanks for listening to my rant lol.
