Hi...long time lurker....occasional poster...
After having my little boy I returned to work after 10months maternity leave but they changed my role, manager, team etc. Really struggled to keep up with changes that were happening on a regular basis etc so found a job and started July last year.....
I think I knew pretty instantly I'd made a mistake joining there but Ive perservered thinking it was an adjustment process I had to get used to....
It's a quite old fashioned in that they make bookings on a paper diary (4people fighting for 1 diary to book things in) its an unprofessional environment, racism, sexism you name it. (Not only have I been called chunky and been laughed in my face at (by the boss) for joining in on a conversation about running - "I'm not being funny MrsWahlberg but your no chloe madeley are you" - (I'm Not no but I run 2-3 times a week, completed half marathon last year etc so felt valid in my input in the office convo). There's was also a particularly low point when the boss suggested fingering one of the office staff on the Xmas night out....I kid you not!
My husband has told me many times to jack it in. We are comfortable and could afford it and my wages only cover my luxeries
like gym membership, mobile phone etc. But I've never not worked (apart from mat leave). And having to rely on someone else for money makes me abit uncomfortable.
But would I be unreasonable to think fuck it and hand in my notice whilst looking elsewhere for a part time job!?!
Sorry it's a long post!!!
