I have been at a new job for 3 months, a couple of weeks ago someone asked me how i was and i just burst into tears. I am covering maternity and i've been thrown into the deep end on projects. I am a person who likes to know everything and i am overwhelmed by how much i need to do and the projects that i have on. My boss knows the job inside out and can probably do it with her eyes closed but when i say i dont feel confident in what i'm doing she just says its because i'm new. I do everything she tells me i need to do and it ends up being wrong or not the way i should do it.
I feel like she is making subtle hints at me constantly and undermining me. She goes on about pay continuously as though i am on money that she is so i feel like she doesnt give me the support in need because i should work it out myself.
If i ask her something that I might have asked last week she gets annoyed because i am asking the same question. I am just trying to make sure i know the right thing as a new job is overwhelming and i am not coping.
She was previously bullied at a different company and says she hates bullying. But i feel like she is just intimating me and is bullying me.
I have told her i am stuggling and she doesnt even acknowledge that.
I've handed in my notice, but now i feel it has got worse. I have a long notice period and not sure how i am going to make it through.
Has anyone got any advice on how to not worry?

Hmmmm @Standingupstandingout what would happen if she broke it, can the employer take it legal?

Yes ! Breach of contract unless it was mutually agreed that she could have a shorter notice period

Are you in the UK? The notice period is legally enforceable as it is part of the contract.

Ah fair enough then! Must be expensive to take an employee to court over that though? I only ask as I've known a few people who have just left and nothing came of it.

But yeah, get signed off OP.
