When I started with the company just over a year ago, it was great, I was the typical "rising star" doing some really good stuff and getting known in the company throughout 23 offices as one of the best, I was doing admin for building surveyors but I also started doing a lot of markeing stuff for a lady in the office who is the business development manager, and I was making really good progress.
Anyway, after a 2 week holiday in June, I went back to work to discover that she had taken all my work I did for her off me and given it to a girl in another office. Fair enough, but it was the way she did it. She didnt tell me she had done this, she let me carry on designing reports and stuff and not once did she or anyone else tell me I wasnt supposed to be doing the work anymore. I finally found out when a colleague forwarded me an email she had sent to one of the directors telling them of the change.
Now when I started, it was part-time temp to cover summer holidays, and they asked me to stay on to do this work for "it" as she shall now be reffered to, aswell as the normal admin stuff I had been doing.
So all of a sudden I had no work to do, I was like a dog sitting there waiting to be fed the scraps. There just isnt enough admin work to warrant 3 admin staff. I have been stressing about this untill it has made me ill. Do I look for another job, meaning putting off TTC until I have been in anew job long enough to earn maternity rights, or stikc it out and hope for the best?
I found out last week that "it" has been bad mouthing me, saying the reason she took the work off me is because I was very bad at it. Thats rubbish, it is a male dominated industry and "it" has the attitude that any women in the company who show potential are direct competition for her. Plus this other gilr she passed the work too is loaded and doesnt need to work and "it" is so dazzled by status and money that they are new best buddies.
I have been on at my office manager to find out if I am actually still needed, or if I should be looking for another job, and after a conversation with him this morning I have no confidence that I still have a job and am just wasting my time, they have been stringing me along for months now and Ive had enough. So I just walked out. I refuse to put up with this crap anymore.
OH is amazing, I just called him in tears to say I have quit and was expecting opposition as we have a mortgage to pay etc, and I would understand completely if he was mad with me, but he is so understanding, he knows I havnt been myself lately with the stress of it all, he also knows I can find another job easily, he just wants me to be happy.
So there you have it, I am now unemployed and looking for another job!
