am I being over sensitive about work due to my past?
As a child, I was a victim of DV. As a result, I try to treat people fairly and carefully and ensure things are done thoroughly. I care about vulnerable people and safeguarding. I’ve been told that I’m emotionally intelligent…but am I over sensitive?
I’m having an awful time at work. I work for the DWP at a job centre and staff and management are a mixed bag. It’s a very cliquey and dog eat dog environment. Things are rushed and not done properly, claimants are unnecessarily impacted. My manager constantly chops and changes focuses, is nitpicky and unclear, shouts at people including me in meetings and kicked me out of group chats etc. When I raised that I felt left out & unhappy with how she’s been treating me, she said I was being sensitive? Am I? Cause if it weren’t for my past, maybe I wouldn’t notice these things or maybe I’d have a higher tolerance.
