3) Start planning how you might escape this job. Look for new opportunities while coping with the evil one.
This happened to me in a previous job and I did a combination of 2 and 3. I got angry at my boss and said a few things, then I said "I've had it" and stormed out of the room. He never mentioned it and strangely, things just continued. Unfortunately, nothing really changed (except I left that job later on). I was glad I did get angry, because I felt mistreated and it made me feel good to let him know it. I am usually quiet and calm (on the outside) at work, so it wasn't like me and must have shocked him.
I hope it gets better for you. |
Really appreciate your thoughtful reply.
I'd advise a friend, as you said, to bide their time and look for something else.
But I just feel so ill and strange. Something in me has snapped. It might be the antidepressant (it's been less than 4 weeks).
A sudden and sharp decline.
The doctor who prescribed the meds was quite good. I scored very high on his depression questionnaire. He offered to sign me off for a month, so I could recover my strength.
I've also lost weight and I was tiny already so I think he could see I was in trouble.
I said no, as I thought it would cause more problems than it solved (I really didn't want my company to know about my depression).
I'm now thinking maybe I should take him up on his offer. It's out there now anyway
I just can't stand it anymore.
