Work stress

Peanut72 October 21st, 2021

Things at my job are causing me to have alot of stress wich then sets off my depression. My boss is the root to all of it. She lies, she talks about others behind their back, she gets on social media and talks bad about us, and she doesn't share what the company is asking of us. I'm the 2nd in charge and I know nothing. I just don't know what to do.

I've already been shutting myself out to friends and family.

If you have an HR rep report her if not find one on Google that represents the state and then report her.youll stay anonymous and if she keeps doing it they will repercus her or the business

@Peanut72 I am not sure what would happen if you report them because I do not know the politics there so I think it better for you to decide what to do on your own.

What I can share is that self care is the most important thing for me when I am in stressful situations. This can be exercising before work, eating high protein low carb meal or snack ever 3-4 hours, napping at lunch with an alarm to wake up, and not talking personal stuff to people at work.

It sounds like a difficult situation. If you can start saving 1-2 years of expenses in a savings account or money market, that may give a greater sense of security in case things do not turn out well.

If this is really disrupting your relationships, a therapist might help you sort things out.

Thank you for your advice, but I don't think I have the 1 to 2 to save...

Hi ya

Not sure if you can discreetly go beyond your Boss to the Company to find out what is going on for yourself or not, but this might help if you can do it.

Your Boss sounds very deceitful and you have every right not to trust her. Trust is earnt not given and it sounds like she has never earnt it.

Hope this suggestion has helped. And hope it all works out for you.

At the very least, if you have to look elsewhere for Work, be discreet until you have something secured. Don't tell anyone else at Work your Feelings or Business, because no matter how close you think or feel you are to some People, they are still only Work Colleagues at the end of the Day with their own ends/Jobs to think of.

Speaking from Experience many times sadly.

all the best Luck and wishes
