Has anyone ever walked out from their job

Has anyone every walked out from their job? Or just never went back?

I am being bullied. I don't want to talk about it right now. I was made feel very low yesterday in my work and the level and laid that's dumped on me is unreal and far far far far far too much.

It wasn't the first time my employers scolded me over so little and it's just the way they do it.

I remember another time I was change wet bedclothes because wetness cant really remain and my employer scolded me about that too and expected me to leave wet bedclothes on a bed for someone to sleep in and likely eventually for mold to grow.

There were other issues too. Like the toilets kept getting blocked and they blamed me for throwing baby wipes down the down when I wasn't. It wasn't me. But they blamed me for it though.

I am just so sick. Yestederday I had some very bad thoughts about 'catching the bus' but I don't have any plans for that and I am not in any immediate danger to go that way but the thought sare there. I am made feel so very low depending on someone else's mood.

I am just so sick of it. Being used, overworked and unappreciated.

Can you go off on sick leave, whilst you get some help ? Is that an option and contact at your gp too.

You're working in a care home? Some of them are hellholes. It's not unknown to walk out of such jobs. I did it a long time ago. We even had someone walk out mid shift. If you can afford it, finish your shift then leave. Get a gp to sign you off if necessary. Care jobs are very easy to get, so you shouldn't have a problem finding something else. Be aware that malicious managers will let other managers in the area know you left suddenly though, that's why it's better to get signed off.

This sounds heartbreaking for you OP. Yes I did walk out of a job once, very different as it was an office but my boss was an absolute psychopath. I once saw her yell at a young employee who's grandfather had literally just died that morning that she needed to get out of the office if she couldn't behave professionally. I thought nope, absolutely nothing is worth this.

It sounds like you are a carer and care workers are hugely in demand atm. I second everyone saying get down to the GP first thing tomorrow and get signed off, then don't go back. Sign up with an agency, you have experience and obviously care a lot about your work. I'm sure you'll be snapped up in no time.

Just quit if you are unhappy.

What’s the notice period?

Better to leave on a positive so you can get a reference.

I just had such a horrible day yesterday. Working for the first hour of the day gasping for a drink if water to wet my very dry mouth. Yes, I work in care. I had to deal with poo smearing over and over and over and over and over again all day yesterday. There was no end to it. It was compounded by my employer standing over me and scolding me for trying to minimise the person gaining access into her ass to pick at it. Sorry for the language.

I was faced with a whole entire day of physical work, people who would not come back to relive me, the countys health department restructuring me work and moving me into another organisation where I have to reapply and attend meetings and do paper work.

There was just no respect.

All morning I had to run around attending meetings. Got soaked down to my knickers and socks from the rain. I am still faced with a whole entire physical day yet ahead of me.

I just feel sick.

To be honest I want to leave care work. I hate it. I went in to help people but it's such a horrible profession. Extremely abusive.

I am so tired and exhausted. I don't know if I should push through today or take a sick day or take a sick day tomorrow.

I definitely feel low level of migraine.

I got soaked all day long today from the rain because they are shuffling me around the town this morning. My day is still not done. Later if I don't get wet from helping a person with a shower it will be getting piss on me. There's just not break or respite in any of this while I am faced with bullying from the higher ups.
