Hi all,
I need some help
and a handhold please. NC for this but long time poster.
I will try and keep this brief:
I have been in my new job for 4 months and it’s making me ill. My line manager is a micromanaging bully and the only person above her is too busy to care/do anything (I have tried) but also spends most of her time so busy and stressed she is unavailable and can be incredibly rude. I have far too much work, I’m interrupted constantly, there is so much pressure on top of dealing with the behaviour from my superiors.
This has never happened to me in a job before but I think I’m starting to get ill. I was in tears at lunchtime and on the way home due to the way I was spoken to throughout the day. I didn’t eat my lunch as I felt sick. I have no history or mental health issues.
it’s a skilled admin based role that requires certain qualifications, which I have.
we have no HR - small business.
Please don’t make suggestions as to what I should do differently, I have made up my mind that I want to go.
-I am 38
-been in this job for 4 months
-previous job 2 years (left as gained higher qualifications that weren’t really useable in that role)
-job before that 3 years, left due to relocation
I have passed my probation in new job and have become aware that they have had problems getting someone to “stick” in the role, the person before me lasted 3 days.
Looking at these facts- how long do I need to tolerate my current role before I can leave without it making my CV look bad ? 12 months ?
if I have an end point in mind I think it will help me cope.
thanks 😊
