I won't because I need the money. And I've been with the organisation too long to ditch my pension etc. But I really CBA with my job.

In all honesty, I've never really enjoyed it. My colleagues are hard work. Then there is the job itself. I won't go into too much detail, but in short I am supposed to work 'with' another agency. Yet they put up barriers at every opportunity to working together and my colleagues and I are left trying to muddle through as we go. We get spoken to like shite by the other agency. We get spoken to like shit by our 'clients' and I am sick of it. Since lockdown happened and I've been working at home, it's really opened my eyes to how disorganised everything is. I finally feel like I can see the wood for the trees and seen it for the shit show it is.

I've worked in difficult roles before now. I used to be dealing with people threatening to jump off buildings FFS! But this job has driven me to the brink. I'm looking elsewhere, but somehow need to maintain my sanity until I can move on. Any tips?!

I know I should be grateful I do have a job right now. And that I have been able to work from home. And on reflection, I am being totally selfish complaining about my position when others have it much worse.

But I'm still miserable.

You talk about your pension so can you retire soon?

Sorry, no advice here but I feel for you. I’ve just now been dealt yet another kick to the teeth from my employer. They’re totally taking the piss. Also not in a position to leave, nor in a position to improve things there so all I can do is grit my teeth and power through and hope karma gets them in the end.

You know that if you leave, you won't be "ditching your pension" - right?

It'll still be there, waiting for you to retire. You can start a new pension pot with a new employer.

Have you brought up the issues with the other agency with management?
