Hello all
I've been in my job a year, it's a professional middle management role, a step up for me. Main problem is I'm in a failing authority and majority of senior managers are temps. They are ruthless but clever, not bad people on the whole, but obviously no investment in the organisation. It's a real mess, at all levels actually. Lots of sickness and people leaving, plus loads of suspensions plus people 'disappearing'- probably suspended but we aren't allowed to talk about it. Proving that things are wrong and bad would be incredibly hard.
Anyway. I'm ill with it all- on anti depressants and pain killers as I'm in constant neck pain. Confidence shot- we are all overloaded, but I've felt inept due to my relative newness I think. Plus tendency to blame myself for stuff.
So. I'm tempted to resign and try agency work. Would prefer another profession but tricky at my age - I have tried.
I'm wary of posting more details, it's really quite horrible how things operate at present and I'm worried I'll 'disappear' if not careful.
Any advice please?
