A win win then! Hope everything sails smoothly!In a way I feel like I've won with the notice period situation tooI've got 12-21st September off to go on holiday, I'm in hospital 22nd September, then my final day here is 30th September. Technically only 9 days left after today
I'm glad to see you've made a healthier change in your role too!
I'm afraid that is society. I work for a Higher Education Institution, and if a student is failed, many raise merry hell. It wouldn't matter but some of them have done no work whatsoever, and feel hard done by.I have too much work and don't feel like I am doing a good job. I love aspects of my role but hate other parts of it amd have found clients have become increasingly demanding and unreasonable the last few years.
I’m on annual leave but so stressed about work. I made a reversible error last week which affected a coworker and I know from past experience he’ll now be telling everyone I ducked up and I already know he’s spoken to a senior manager about it. I’m so close to getting another position in the company but there’s possibility I could be investigated for what I did so now I’m worried it will stop me moving on from this toxic workplace. I want to go off sick with mental health and have felt like this for a while but that will definately stop me moving
If you feel up to it, you could take this to HR, maybe there’s an Ethic Line or similar you can call to talk to someone that isn’t your manager? The manager isn’t great either, this is the sort of thing they need to get behind and protect their directs.I’ve gone back to work today and there’s no investigation but the coworker involved won’t talk to me which is awkward when we working on a project together. He is making sly digs about what I did to other people too so I hear it. I am biting my tongue cause they’re moving onto another project in a month but it is so draining. I only started there a couple of months ago and they didn’t make me feel welcome at all, Our manager is aware of it all doesn’t do anything to fix if ~sigh~
Sharing this link in case it helps/inspire you!Been feeling down about my work for a while and had a crappy start to my week. I am honestly thinking about a total career change despite having worked to get where I am and spent thousands to get qualified.
My salary is OK but not for the job I do - £35,000 as a solicitor have 10 years experience buy qualified for about half of that time.

I am alone so can't afford to take a pay cut and don't feel like I want to stay in the profession anymore. I don't know what else I could do instead and feel totally lost.
Thank you. That was an interesting read. I've actually been looking and have seen a legacy management job which I am going to apply for. Its something I have been interested in doing and closely related to the current work I do xSharing this link in case it helps/inspire you!

You don't work with me, do you?Today, flapping colleagues, technical issues and poor communications from managers.
what a twatish colleague! Say to you manager that it was a miscommunication, you mentioned working on it while the colleague understood you would be finishing it and then go over the massive workload. If they need it all this urgently they should hire more people.My manager is back from annual leave and sent me a really really shitty email asking why I never completed a report on a specific date. Apparently I mentioned to a colleague in passing I was doing it on a particular day, and that colleague has gone back to my manager with it (fuck knows why!) I remember that day the workload was so high I got sidetracked so never finished it until the week later.
My manager is acting like it's a huge horrendous crime. The report isn't hugely time sensitive and he has asked me to "explain myself tomorrow" (those exact words!) Feeling really anxious about it all because I honestly don't know what to say. I actually would love to say the workload is so, so fucking high that I just don't have the fucking time to get things done, mainly because I'm doing the work of at least two people! I've been working extra hours every day and get no thanks at all for it.
I have applied for two jobs similar to mine but with different companies, fingers crossed I get some luck!
Exactly! The turnover at the company is quite high in general and I can definitely see why. I think people just think "fuck this" and go elsewhere.what a twatish colleague! Say to you manager that it was a miscommunication, you mentioned working on it while the colleague understood you would be finishing it and then go over the massive workload. If they need it all this urgently they should hire more people.
You’re completely right. At this point I want nothing more to do with her. No contract means no notice so see you later!The beautician is using you, please leave this job. There are red flags all over this, from no contract, changing perks, changing location, disregard for whether you can actually work for her, etc. I’d write a short note explaining that I will no longer be able to work for her, give her a date by when expect to be paid and then bye bye. She will continue to use your free work.

She's definitely messing you about, I agree about writing a formal letter/email stating the dates you worked and the amount she owes you. Hopefully she pays up then.You’re completely right. At this point I want nothing more to do with her. No contract means no notice so see you later!
