Justify

Your psychologist is basically right and you realise this will happen if you change jobs. 10 years is a long time for one employer. I had almost 23 years when I lost my job with the public sector.

I was told I was moody, not a team player and the like because I could not cope with the crap that was going on in the work place - pets/favourtism, hypocracy, fakeness. I tried to just do my job and not get involved with the politics of work and I would advise you that. If you are eligible for long service in August, perhaps you should have a break.

Hope this is of some help and not babble.

Go Justify!!!

Your psych is partially right, in that the world can be a cruel place and that people are hypocritical, its kinda human nature...

However, not all people act or behave like that, so surround yourself with people who are kind to you. the way your cats are kind to you.

I want to add, that A-leng is right - you need to surround yourself around positive people but this is hard at work when you are allocated a desk and you are surrounded with management that plays games with the staff/employers. If it is discrimination/you feel harassed, perhaps you should lodge a complaint against work. But read up on your state's anti discrimination law.

Im sorry that u have to wok in such a stressful environment. Nobody should have to deal wih it, but unfortunately many people do. Some people are nice, plenty are jerks & have a get them before they get me, belittle to make themselves look big, play games to succeed & drag others down to get there, even if they have to lie, cheat, steal whatever. You'll find this everywhere.

You may as u say be treated worse in another job, thats a possibility yes, but theres also the chance that u can find somewhere your accepted & that u enjoy being. As with many things u never know until u try. Staying at something that makes u miserable, just because its what ur used to & out of fear, wont do u any good but may cause more damage to u in the long run. ther are risks & benefits with anything in life, but you'll never know til u try.

Be brave honey & try something new, give it a go. Happiness & a successful career couldbe just round the corner just go & look. One foot in front of the other is all it takes, it may not be easy or happen over night, but i know u can do it. You'll get there.


I hope this helps...

If you find the people hard to get along with due to there backstabbing and so on, but don't want to leave your job, take a step back from them, be polite as in saying g'morning etc and keep it to that, that way they cant say your are being rude or nasty and no reason to complain or back stab you to others, if this fails go to the head of management.
