I started a new job about six months ago. It was a brilliant opportunity and a chance to work inh the field i really wanted to go into. Whilst i still love what i do the rest has turned into a nightmare.
- The company is a small family company. me and another girl were hired at the same time. The managing director is a sexist, who frequently tells me i dont know anything because i am 25, that it is my job to keep the office clean (i am the marketing manager).
- I received a sexually explicit email from one of the directors, who later told the owner that i sent one to him, as he was scared i would tell. he told him not to say anything to me. he is married to the owners heavily pregnant daughter. i recovered the email as proof but decided to say anything as ntohing has happened since.
- I am expected to work evenings and weekends, on top of a uni course and single parenting a two year old. when my son was sick on friday, they pushed and pushed and wondered why i was nto working hard enough, they also had the hump when i said i couldnt work yesterday. my terms were 9-5 monday to friday. i now work a minimum 16 hour day - seven days.
- The md sat in front of me last week and said he wanted to hire someone intelligent and ambitious, instead of who he had. bear in mind i wrote their business plan, redesigned the company website and created the marketing plan.
- tells me he wanted me to drive to the other side of london in my car which is uninsured for anything other then commuting to work purposes and on motorways, which he knows i dont like as i only started driving in april and that i will be sacked if i dont.
- argues on a daily basis that google and seo is useless and that he should hire a sxxt hot sales person to do my job. also refuses to give me my agreed commission or pay deal until he sees results. this despite my campaigns doubline thier annual turnover.
- on the one occasion i argues with him screamed that i was a bloody liar and knew fuxxking nothing - i had the proof in my hand.
i cry every day and wont go to sleep because when i wake up i have to go to work. i spoke to one of the other bosses who very nicely told me its their company and they expoect me to work to whatever hours and standards they like. I havent been allowed to have holiday - despite the fact that everyone else has and i cant do it anymore. i work all the time, the results are unbelievable and they wont acknowledge it with even a thankyou. my son is suffering as if i am available for him, i am too tired and stressed to cope and my friends frequently tell me i look exhausted and stressed. i am so sorry for the long rant but i dont know what to do. i dont want to go back to what i was doing before but i have only been here six months. please help me.
