Can I tell you my good news???

[anewdispensation]

Last year pre Covid, I was bullied out of my role at work- went down the legal route and got a payout. Then Covid hit and getting back to work was so tough so been living off the payout.

I got a call yesterday offering me an amazing role at a great organisation with a fantastic culture. The pay and benefits are a lot more than what I was earning at the toxic old place and I’ll be working lesser hours!

I had been so down and was worrying as I’m the main bread winner but I am so relieved that I don’t have to worry anymore. Keeping the news to myself in real life but just wanted to share with someone..

Also for anyone going through similar or looking for a job, please don’t give up. I know how hard it is and how bad the anxiety can be, just keep going

Fantastic news! 🥂

Congratulations! That's great news

Congratulations!

Fabulous, well done. Hope everything goes smoothly to get you started in your new place soon.

I've got a job interview on Friday in a field I haven't worked in since my youngest - now 15 - was born. I may not get it, but it sounds like I'm pushing at an open door to get back in a limited way. And the job on offer is part time and fits readily around the other work I've been doing more recently, that I don't want to give up. Fingers crossed.

Congratulations! It gives me hope that my job search will end well, eventually. Hope you do really well in your new role.

Congratulations :D

Really wish MN had a like button for positive responses like these on this thread😔. Sort it out MNHQ.

Fantastic!! Well done!

Congratulations @anewdispensation - very well done on keeping your chin up and plugging on through what must have been a tough time. Hope this year will continue to be great for you. 🌹

What lovely news! Thanks for sharing. I’m very happy for you xx

Great news, congratulations!

Thank you for sharing that, it is so nice to hear good news. Good luck with the new job and well done for getting through such a difficult time and coming out a winner.

Congratulations! Well done you.

Oh how lovely. Congratulations, and thank you for sharing your happy news. I hope that your new role will be fabulous.

That's brilliant! Great you left your shitty job! Great all round!

Thanks all for the well wishes. It is so good to know that I have people who are genuinely thrilled for me.

It has been such a tough year and my mental year took a battering, I first lost weight from the shock of my abrupt exit and the legal battle that followed then gained weight when lockdown happened and I didn't know what to do with myself and no work was coming through. Being a high earner, it also wasn't easy finding something easily.

I have since December got back on the health and fitness wagon and started exercising daily, sought help for my anxiety and panic attacks and so I felt yesterday's news was the cherry on top.

Honestly if you are looking, don't give up. It is tough I know but good things have a way of finding you when you least expect.

It's great to hear from someone with some good news at the moment - good luck 😊

Congratulations 🎉

Brilliant news now go be happy! x

Huge congratulations on getting the job @anewdispensation, amazing news!

Thats amazing, and well deserved i am sure. Congrats op.

Fantastic news, well done

Such a lovely reminder that fortunes can and do change, especially when everything is feeling a bit shit! Your family will be thrilled for you.

Congratulations! It's such a relief isn't it. I hope your new role is fab and your first day goes well!

Well done! That must feel so good.
Can I ask how you pursued it legally? I left my job in potentially similar circumstances. I don’t need a payout but it’d be good if I had leverage to stop them chasing me for a fictitious overpayment of wages 2 years before I left.
