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

@Howmanysleepsnow

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.
@Howmanysleepsnow it is shit isn't it?

In true MN style, I got a shit hot lawyer- a lovely and talented woman... she fought tooth and nail for me and it helped that my case was watertight. She was a Godsend really. PM me if you want to chat about it some more
