Job issues

[SilverSparkle]

Hi everyone, i work for a large company and have been here 7 years. During that time i have had my 2 sons, now aged 3 (almost 4) and 2. I have always worked fulltime and still am now.

During my time here, i have had alot of issues to deal with in my private life which have affected me and have therefore impacted on my work.

This year my manager has put me on plan to improve performance. However, no matter what i do or try all i seem to get from him is negative feedback and i now basically feel absolutely useless at my job and very demotivated and can't see the point in trying anymore.

I feel like he would love to see me out of here and i feel that that is the way it will go. I am desperate to get out especially as i am feeling alot of stress from this situation which is making me ill. I have suffered from depression in the past and i feel i am almost there again.

I feel that i cannot wait to find another job....any job....and just feel so trapped. I wish i could leave and just be a SAHM as that is what i have wanted to do for so long now.

There is no point to this post, just needed to sound off somewhere so thankyou for reading.

Forgot to add that he has asked that i look at the spec for my job role to highlight what i think i do and what i don't.

Ever wish you could just run away and hide!!

i think you need to contact ACAS

they can't single you out without reason

if they have reason - then sorry love but tough

if they dont have reasons - and we are all allowed reasonable things = illness, kids ere ill etc.. then contact acas.

if they are singling you out unnecessarily then screw them baby screw them quick

Silversparkle I can help you if you can tell me what you want. If you want to challenge the fairness of the situation you are in, and make it difficult for your manager, you can do it, and I can advise you how to, but it really depends what you want your end result to be.

My advice would be get out whilst you can still get a reference.

In my last job I always had performance issues, felt very miserable and as though senior management were always checking up on me.

I stuck it out because I did not want to seem like I was running away and also because I hoped it would get beter.

It didn't.

Once you have a bad name, it's very hard to get rid off.

I've been in my new job since Sept and it is like a breath of fresh air. I really feel like it's a fresh start and it's given me so much more motivation.
