Thanks for reading, I will try to make long story short. I retrained 5 years ago and quickly found the perfect jobpart time, near home, nice peopleso I thought. One member of staff instantly took against me and I realised after much abuse on a daily basis that I had encountered a bully for the first time in my life. This was very obvious to everyone else at work too and in fact my boss approached me and said "the bully is jealous of you and we've noticed her treating you badly, are you ok?". I am very nervous of confrontation and I initially tried to ignore it hoping it would go away. It didn't. I then complained to my boss who was initially very supportive. But.........it is very hard to prove bullying and ultimately a huge pile of paper was dumped on me and I was told I would have to make a case against her myself. I could not face the stress of doing so. My health started to suffer and in February this year I resigned. I have been invited back as a contractor from time to time but just can't face it. Here's the point....I know I did the right thing....I protected myself and got out of the situation. However, I loved that job and the bully has won on some level. In the end, I became the problem as my boss was more and more frustrated at not being able to fix the bully and just wanted me to shut up about it. I am having a hard time getting past this. It's all so unfair but if I had my time over again I am not sure what else I could have done. Once I took steps to object and complain the bully just hated me more and there was no going back. I guess going off sick with stress was an option, but it's not my style (no offence). I think what bothers me most it that middle management have no idea why I left. There was no exit interview. Is it too late to ask for one?
