[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - it feels like going into a war zone every day. I think my boss is trying to break me and it’s working. I can’t avoid the spotlight and it’s so brutal. And really don’t want to be fired / I would rather own the decision. And say to my boss - you should have who you need. I just hate the idea of it being someone else’s decision [/quote] Are you working in a coal mine and put in dangerous unsafe conditions? Working without high voltage without the power off? A roofer working without needed safety harness? I think perspective on war zone. People yelling at you is something you can deflect especially when you have no reason to respect them at all. [/quote] Sure, let’s let OP develop PTSD because this person thinks it’s not “war” enough. If you have never been in a job environment that will mentally break you then you just can’t get it. OP - crunch your finances - see what you can do. And leave if you can. Document everything is case you have enough evidence to file with EEOC if you choose. Can you look into FMLA? Take some time off to decompress and make a decision clear-headed as best you can. Your life is not worth someone’s else’s game. Boss is a miserable loser I bet. Yes, it’s tough in the market. But you won’t be in the best position to pivot to a new employer if you are just trying to survive. It’s going to feel so incredible when you walk out that door finally OP. [/quote] If OP doesn’t need to work for several years or is fine retiring, sure have that attitude. But if they are older than 45 the market is brutal, and being destitute can cause PTSD as well. [/quote] It can be done. No job is worth your life. They don’t own us. [/quote] I’m guessing you didn’t grow up poor. [/quote]
