I have a job i love, doing what i trained 5 years to do. When the job became vacant i successfully got it. After i started i found out that the previous post holder was still heavily involved, and that i was considered second rate. This shattered my confidence but i kept my head down and produced result. Now i find that the previous post holder, doesnt really like the new job she got and is coming back and i have to deal with her attitude towards me, she holds nothing but contempt for me and undermines my expertise, and shes going to come back as my superior. But she left....i dont get it?
On top of this my boss has also made my life hell since i got the job because he favours the previous post holder, on my very first day even before i got given my desk he took a strip out of me regarding my personal life?
I dont know what to do, i spend my day at work close to tears, or locked in the loos sobbing. i come home and i am miserable, i cant leave because i have money problems and I have a family to support, she doesnt and she is 10 years younger than me.
I feel like a victim, i feel like crap all the time and now i am too scared to do anything about it. I am getting it from both sides.
