[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine if they asked you to resign that you loved your job or that you didn't have misgivings already.

This happened to me with a terrible boss, at a place I dreaded going every day.  Nevertheless, it's still crushing.  I was scared to tell my husband.  I felt like a loser.

My husband looked at me when I told him - I was fully expecting him to be upset with me.  I said, "I failed."  He said, "so?"  It was freeing enough to go back to school, get an advanced degree, and now I make a lot more in a better suited role.

Like the other poster mentioned, this could be opening doors in places you wouldn't have otherwise risked or looked because you were stuck in a job that didn't fit with you in the first place.  I'm sorry this happened to you, it's hard to have perspective when this happens.  Good luck.[/quote]

This is me. I just started a job at an organization I really wanted to work for.  But my boss is awful, and has pushed several people out.  I know he's gunning for me, even though I've been there less than 90 days.  I'm working hard, getting up to speed, and pulling long hours.  When I started, there was an extensive interview process, and everyone from HR to the department staff said to expect a steep learning curve, and that I would be supported and trained.  Never happened.

So I go in, feeling ill everyday, and dreading every nasty email he sends me about my work.  His comments are personal and there is no mentorship or guidance.  I'm pretty sure I'm getting fired before the 90 day mark, but want to negotiate another month of health insurance for me and my kids.

I will be happier at a different job, but right now I feel utterly demoralized.  I've never been fired for cause or laid off in my life.  [/quote]
