My manager is grinding me down

[noidea098]

Hi Mumsnet. Currently sat here sobbing at my desk (at home) because my manager has once again made me feel like I am shit at my job.

I am so fed up. It’s just me and my manager in my team so I have no one else to speak to. I am trying to get a new job but struggling as I don’t think I have enough experience in the sector I want to work in.

I am tempted to just hand in my notice but I don’t have enough savings to last on beyond my notice period.

I’d be grateful for any advice now 😢

What have they done to make you feel like that? Please don't leave your job without something to go to.

Do you work from home or with this person?

@MounjaroUser it’s a build up of things really. Feel like I can’t do anything right. Don’t get any constructive feedback - instead just get “I’ll do it myself”. Or what I’ve done wrong. Been told I am weird before for example because I use different formats in a document.

If you don’t get on with your manager, the dynamic when you’re the only direct report is horrible. I’d look for a move.

That sounds miserable. I'd be looking for a sideways move asap.

I agree with @LoobyDoop2...when you're working closely with a manager and they decide to get the knife in your best plan is to look for something else, anything else, if you can't find exactly what you want, trust me, and I speak from experience, it won't get any better .

Yeah, it's really grinding me down. They have zero management or people skills.
