I resigned today

[Londforb]

I feel rubbish, but I’m sure it was the right thing to do. I’ve worked at the company for years and returned after a break to a new manager. I was then given the dogsbody type jobs with no support but then also made to feel like I’m not very good at what I’m doing. Left out of ‘showy’ events, and put way down in the pecking order. Completely devalued.

I can’t tell if it’s me? Maybe I am just not very good at my job?

I need to apply for a new job now but feel like I need to change my career - but I’m not qualified/plus feel like I would fail at anything I now attempt! I sense that people don’t naturally ‘like’ me - and I’m worried it will be the same wherever I go!

Congratulations and well done! It takes guts to take a leap of faith and change what’s not working. You can look forward to getting your mojo back somewhere that will appreciate your contributions!
What would you like to do next in an ideal world?

Well done! It's brave to change things and it sounds like it was the right thing to do. Don't let one dickhead undermine your confidence.

If you were good at your job before the break and there were no complaints about your work or your performance with the old manager, then what's changed?
Is it that you have a new manager who has changed your duties and responsibilities? But you have been 'downgraded' without reason?
