I’ve been in this job for a year. Initially it was all going ok. Over the past few months there’s been lots of change. There is a high turnover of staff and both my direct manager and his manager have left in the last 6 months. The new manager seems to have decided from day one that I am not up to scratch. I have had very little training or support for my role due to my support structure disappearing from above. But, I feel like I’m working to a reasonable standard and improving consistently with experience. The new manager is watching my every move and every breath. I feel so anxious. I have never experienced anything like this. I get blamed for other people’s errors. I get called out in front of the whole team in meetings for alleged errors. It’s breaking me down. My wife says to just quit, that this manager has decided I’m the problem and there’s no recovering from this, and just never go back.
I am really struggling with anxiety and low mood now so considering whether she is right, but feel like I can’t see the right step forward.
what would you do? Stay/work 4 weeks notice/ walk out immediately.
YABU- you need to stay and work through it, you’ll get a shit reference, etc
YANBU- save your mental health and walk out.
