LEAVING my job

A page in the diary ""

Hello all,

I am still on my work break and I have come to terms with a lot of things. One is being that the way I feel and am treated at work is not right and I can stop it by leaving.

I will try to see if my boss is free tomorrow and I will catch up with him to casually discuss what I want.

I took the break because I needed a mental break from work but...also from the intense sadness and negativity form my EX intimate relatioship with my boss. I have not told you guys but there was a time when we were intimate and travelling on a business trip...lets just say he had too much too drink, was angry, verbally abused me and there was a point when I actually believed his threats to murder were real...ever since then our relationship and MAINLy my mental health has suffered

It's so hard and it hurts so very much. It's confusing but I MUST LET GO>

I need to leave the negative chauvanistic stock broking environment...I feel like a failure and guilty that I will be letting the boys down at work but I can't cope working in that place

I am so freaking scared about what my Boss will say...react?! I plan to see him in the morning so that he is not drunk...I feel so anxious, this feels like the biggest thing I will have done. He has controlled me through working for him for such a long time.

I have been scared to leave him personally and leave work because of the fear of his react or consequences he could, would place on me...but I don't want to hurt anymore. I don't want him anymore. I want to move on, please God help me through this,

You are doing the right thing - looking after your health and welfare. You will get through this your decision will be accepted. Be strong when you talk to your boss about it. Take Care and report anything nasty to Human Resources/Anti discrimination commission if it gets to be discrimination.

Go Blue!!!

Hey bluewave

Your bosses treatment of you is and has been awful. I am really sorry that you are going through this. Please - don't worry about letting anyone down - you really really need to look after yourself.

If you need to see someone for help - please seek it - I think you have been through quite a bit of trauma - maybe more than you realise.

Sending you love, self belief and self empowerment.

Kimberly
