At breaking point with work bullying

I've landed my dream job, but the bullying is too much. I can't take it anymore. I think I'm going to have to move to another department as I can't face the fight anymore. I have raised a grievance, but at my wits end with it all.

Just reread and realised there isn't even a question in my post. Not sure what I'm looking for others to say... advice maybe?

More info required...how are you being bullied? What's the job/industry?

I also think you need to provide further info, how are you being bullied and what's been done about it?

You have a few options...

Do nothing
Take out a grievance
Move depts
Resign without anywhere to go
Get a new job, then resign
Get signed off sick and hopefully do one of the above while off.

What do you feel up to doing? Have you spoken to anyone at work about it?

My advice is always to leave. I did eventually but stayed a while thinking it might get better and it wrecked my head for a long time.
