I am a mum of 2 girls age 2 and 5. I started a job at my daughters primary school last September and basically from the first week one of the senior teachers has enjoyed making me feel like a piece of crap. Anything I say she puts down or disagrees with and loves to try and put blame on me for anything when 99% i know nothing about it or have anything to do with it.
About 8 weeks ago a supervisor took me aside and asked why was I making small errors and not on top of my game? I broke down and started crying saying I'm down and finding it have brain fog. Basically I've been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and this has all come from this job! It has been a bit better last 2 weeks and staff have made more effort to chat and talk to me but still the one senior teacher can be odd occasionally.
I have to make a decision by Monday do I resign as it has made me miserable or stay but requesting 2 day week rather than a 3 day week. I probably know what I should do and just leave as I haven't felt happy all year and not sure how I have stayed the whole year.
I didn't realise how ungrateful workplaces can be when someone works really hard but they don't acknowledge it or notice if someone struggles etc.
I'm very tired but worried my daughter will suffer in hands of said teacher if I leave
And what will my last month be like from her :(
