NC as could be outing. Sorry for the long post.
Worst year of my life last year (or so I thought), bullying and harassment at work led to two breakdowns, even had ECG due to concerns over heart rate due to anxiety, counselling, antidepressants etc and finally reached settlement agreement in November meaning I had to leave a very well-paid with good terms and conditions. Finally got a job offer, a less senior role, less money etc, but I was all positive and ready to go. Started three weeks ago, awful place, very old-school, whole group of inductees threatened with disciplinary action during induction multiple times for various possible IT errors and when I finally got into the office it was not particularly friendly environment - I have many years office experience working in different environments and never worked for someone who had 'interruption time' in electronic calendar every day and hardly spoke with me, their secretary. Mid week two our three year old dog becomes seriously ill, in vets overnight, due to be discharged following day and then an hour prior to discharge becomes paralysed and needs MRI and Supervet type operation two hours away at a very specialist centre. Fortunately insured (capped) so having to contribute, but not so worried, just want dog back in good shape. Family all very upset (previously lost our male dog suddenly and prematurely) - asked new boss for time off on day of dogs op as I'd gone into office really early to try and catch up and by lunchtime I was struggling. He looked at me very strangely, but I did go home early to be with family. Dog is now at home recuperating with 24 hr care, has a catheter and lots of meds, still no movement at rear end. Couple of 'odd' things took place last Monday in the office and by Tuesday I'd had enough. Tuesday evening I was physically sick when I got home and I decided to resign (with family's support). I realise nobody died, but this series of events has knocked me sideways (again), just feel I need to get this out on paper as I'm not sure how to move forward. Very sad about my dog and feel a bit of a failure due to job situation.
