I had been in my job for three years, loved the job but my boss was a down right bully and it was personal. It went on for a very long time. Things were awful, she set up traps to watch me fail, binned my Tupperware in the staff kitchen and left me with no cutlery for my lunch, constant criticism etc etc...I had enough one day and walked out and told her no more! I saw a lawyer and was going for constructive dismissal but due to lack of evidence and witnesses he didn't want to take the case forward.
I obviously couldn't go back to work and went on the sick with genuine stress but I managed to get a job as a care worker and resigned from the hell hole.
I couldn't do the care work, I went into the job for the wrong reasons and I hated it, I decided to leave because I wasn't the right person for the job and didn't feel it fair on the clients that I felt that way.
fast forward a few months and im now officially unemployed. DP earns 'too much' so I can't sign on or claim benefits.
I'm living off dp and I hate it. I have nothing going in my bank account.
All the jobs ive applied for are unsuitable, crappy retail jobs with complicated application forms, want cover letters, everything possible for a minimum wage, part time retail bloody job.
I feel so down and don't see an end to it.
The industry I was in isn't really suitable for family life and the job I had was a one off. I think that's the reason I was bullied - because I had a small child and was very different to her.
