Goodbye bully

I posted on here several weeks ago as I felt like I was being bullied at work. For the first time in my working life of > 20 years I felt I couldn’t go on. I had the thread deleted as I was so worried it would be outing. Work was causing me sleepless nights, chest pains, I was snappy and grumpy with my family and I was frequently in tears after meetings with the particular person.
Well, on the day of a particularly bruising meeting I reached out to someone I used to work with who was hiring in their new team in a new firm. Fast forward to now and many many interviews later and I have a job offer - for a role that is exciting - and I am about to resign. My thread is gone so I can’t thank the people who replied with words of support but I wanted to share my news and hope it might spur someone else on to get out of a toxic work situation. It is not worth your health - physical and mental - suffering.

Congratulations - so pleased to read this!

Thanks - I’m nervous about starting something new and having so much to learn, but it’s good nervous, not chest pain nervous 😬

Brilliant news.A toxic workplace is one of the worst things.

Fantastic op! Congratulations! We spend more time at work than we do with loved ones so deserve to enjoy it.
I hope you enjoy that moment of resigning and the weight is lifted off your shoulders ready for your new start

It takes courage to reach out for help when you really need it, @DGybnp74. Well done for doing so, and giving yourself the opportunity for a better future.

Good luck in your new job! 🌹

Congratulations! There is nothing worse than being unhappy at work. It literally pervades every area of your life.

Wow thanks for all the kind words, it really helps as there is sometimes (not often) still that niggly voice in my head telling me I am "running away" Hmm.

Absolutely brilliant need. Well done for realising that their behaviour is wrong and putting yourself first by getting out. You should be proud: tell the voice inside your head to shut up! Best of luck in the new job!

Onwards and upwards, op. Don't look back.
