However not knowing the dynamics,, the environment you are in sounds toxic. Your health and well being are far more important obviously | |||

In my company any harassment cases are immediately investigated as part of a confidential investigation. There is also a zero retaliation policy to protect employees You should perhaps get some legal advice .. This sounds like a potential constructive dismissal case ?? | |||

"For handing in my notice today and I know it will be a shit conversation. Ugh, please send vibes from the positivity possum and cake... Thanks in advance Miss D" Good luck. I did this myself a few months ago and am now near the end of my notice period. Firms try to create beliefs that people belong in a firm, or owe the firm loyalty to stay, or whatever, but this is really simple ... you have a contract of employment with them, and one of the rights in that contract is to terminate it and leave. It’s just business. It’s just business when they make decisions that staff are unhappy about and it’s just business when you decide to take your life or career in a different direction. The firm may not be happy that you are leaving, and if that is the case that’s a positive, shows you were doing a good job. But most of all, you leaving is an inconvenience for them, as they need to replace you, are losing experience etc. But that is their problem! Don’t let them try to make their problem your problem. Good luck! | |||

You have to wonder why people behave like that. Chances are she is just jealous of you as you look amazing. Feel free to point the finger right at this person when you are asked why you are leaving. Quite possible that this sort of behaviour is not news to your bosses | |||

"Thank you all! It means a lot to have so much love and support from you all ![]() ![]() Shit, what a let-down for you! I hope you can speak to her soon, and get things sorted one way or another x | |||
"Thank you all! It means a lot to have so much love and support from you all ![]() ![]() Definitely got grounds for constructive dismissal. Speak to a union or employment solicitor | |||
"Thank you all! It means a lot to have so much love and support from you all ![]() ![]() I’m so sorry you are experiencing this. I had something similar but the culprit was my own boss. I put up with it for years and put in grievances but she was “friends” with HR director & the grievance was handled by a VP instead of her peer. They didn’t uphold it which I expected but they recommended mediation and I agreed but my “boss” never agreed to a date. I’m the end I moved to a different role in a new department and had never been happier. It was my dream job without even knowing it. I’m only sharing my experience because sometimes your gut instinct to move on or away is the right one. You can fight back but you still end up moving on. I hope you get support and peace soon lovely ![]() ![]() | |||

"Thank you all! It means a lot to have so much love and support from you all ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh god! What a nightmare!!! Just makes my blood boil that people can put others through that! I've had issues since I started there and always thought that it must be me, am I too sensitive? Could I have deeper issues I tried to raise the issues during supervisions and she would query my mental health, am I perceiving things because of how I felt and I thought well it must be me.... Now I know it's not, the place was causing my mental health, it is a vicious circle Glad you got free and much happier x | |||

Definitely. But I'd also think you may have a case for constructive dismissal. If you've got any work emails related to the difficulties you've had - make sure you save them so you've got the evidence trail. I found it so stressful that I didn't take them to tribunal but wish I had in hindsight. Employers need to be kept accountable for this behaviour - blaming your mental health ffs. Hope you feel great now you've done it! | |||

Using mental health to gaslight you and as a tool to constructively dismiss you is unacceptable. Make sure you take any examples of things that have happened with you when you leave and if you do have someone there you trust ask them if they be a witness to any situations they saw that you have a record of. If you have stuff like this it’ll help you at citizens advice to take legal action. I think you have up to 3 years after leaving to follow it up if you want to. I know you might want to leave it all behind you but consider it because it might help any doubts you have about yourself. And enjoy that week off knowing you have a better work life ahead of you xx | |||

"I’m doing the same tomorrow!! Kudos cheeks. Imma gonna get a day off! (In 3 months ![]() ![]() In a way similar. But it is time that, perhaps, both of us need to be a little bit more kind to ourselves. It is time that someone learned the value of respect and though it will benefit me not, it may benefit my wonderful team and demonstrate their value and that is worth more than me staying. I shall ride horses and laugh at the rain for a while, I think I may have earned it. As for you. Though no one gives you value, save yourself, I am joyed to see that you have found that worth in yourself and are now giving those riches to people that deserve them. You will be good. And that is warming too xx | |||
"I’m doing the same tomorrow!! Kudos cheeks. Imma gonna get a day off! (In 3 months ![]() ![]() Kind and true to ourselves....and that means realising our worth and realising that we deserve better than this. You are worth more.... I am amazing at my job, I know. 25 years of supporting families and caring for other peoples children. Children who now as 25 year olds remember me tell me this. Managing staff through nurturing and supporting people is key, my staff need love, support and positivity just as the children do. Why would they not? People rarely remember what you say but they do remember how you made them feel I've looked after babies of babies I used to care for and each one precious. I love seeing them grow wondering what they will be as adults, kids career or ASBO ![]() | |||
"I’m doing the same tomorrow!! Kudos cheeks. Imma gonna get a day off! (In 3 months ![]() ![]() ![]() You see how golden you are? It puts the sunset to shame. I’ve always said there is one thing that cannot be taught and that is passion. And here in your simple message, you have demonstrated just why you are so valuable, because of that passion. You are worth a world of opportunity. And now, you step into a new dawn, one that can barely match your own promise. As for me, it breaks me to leave my team, but I leave them knowing that they are beyond measure, that each of them was a gift to my little life and that I am richer for having, just for a short while, harvested their passion and made the world a little bit better xx | |||

I picked him up by his stubby little tail and put him outside the fenced arena. As I placed him softly on the grass the other side of the fence he turned and squeaked angrily at me, I swear he was shaking his fist. Whilst the horse I was supposed to be riding looked at me in the “I’m a bit simple” way that horses do as if to say “what doing with velvety squeaky thing?” ”. It was the single trigger point to me resigning. Life is beautiful if you just let it be beautiful | |||
