I'm looking for any uplifting stories about people who have had to leave their jobs for performance reasons and started again successfully.
I've been in my company for six years but recently I'm just not performing as my responsibilities and workload have increased. The constant stress of my manager telling me how bad my work is becoming demoralising and causing me huge anxiety. I also just cannot keep up with the workload despite working very long hours. My manager cut back my work load and I still can't keep it or produce the quality of work they're looking for.
My self esteem has really been affected and I need to keep my mental health in tact to look after my family. I've always considered myself a bright person so I feel a lot of shame too. I need to start again and have no idea where to start.
