AIBU to feel like my job is killing me

[Deathbydolla]

I work for a large public sector organisation. I have been there for a year now and I'm struggling to get out of bed in the morning :-(. Treated like a child, draconian micro-management, terrible 'learning program'. Everybody on my team is miserable and wants out. My work has really been suffering and I'm not performing as well. I am truly distraught with my situation. I have a job offer elsewhere, but I'm terrified that all my shoddy work will be discovered during my handover. Or worse, that I'll fail employment checks/rethink resource needs and that I'm going to be stuck in this miserable life forever. Sorry about the rant, I just really can't take anymore atm. How do I stop my job from driving me off a cliff?

Take the new job op.

Don't hand your notice in though until all of your pre employment checks are done and you have the contract signed and sent back to them

I can't do that, manager already knows all about it (unavoidable) and has now basically axed my job and asked for my work phone back. I just want to cry

When I say 'axed' what I mean is not that he's threatening to fire me, he just thinks I shouldn't start anything new as I'll be leaving soon.

Have you actually formally handed in your notice?

You have a light at the end of the tunnel with the new job offer. Cling on to that.

I haven't Duchess, as I don't have a formal offer. I just had to inform my manager because of the procedures and where I work. I just feel in terrible limbo and I'm equally terrified of leaving/not leaving. I'm meant to be at work right now but can't bring up the courage to get out of bed :-(. I know that sounds pathetic.

Maybe I t's Stockholm syndrome.

Once you're actually gone from there you will marvel at how you considered being scared of leaving and how you thought you might want to cling on to what was making you miserable.

I think if your job makes you feel so bad that you can't face leaving your bed then you made a good choice to get out.

Being in a bad workplace really heightens my anxiety and the best thing in ever did was leave.

Is there any reason your new job would rescind the offer??

Just await your contract then hand in your notice and take it one day at a time x
