I think I got a new job!
I love the company I work for but for my mental health I need a new job. My manager is a bully, and it has taken a huge toll on me. She won't let me transfer out of the department bc she needs me, and even after talking to the VP and president, nothing has happened. The president even said that he doesn't want employees to be boxed into their current position, but that's what I am.
Management is supposed to help employees move in the company to where they want to be and where their strengths lie. My management will not allow that. She likes people that back down and that isn't me, which is why we butt heads. she bullies worse when she realizes she is wrong or I know more about the topic at hand.
Anyway, my anxiety has skyrocketed since I've been under my current manager, about 9-10 months. I suffer chest pains and mini-panic attacks. I have stress-induced asthma that flavors up. There were internal changes and I had no choice-go or leave. I needed the job. Anyway, I think I may have gotten the perfect job for me- web marketing.
I've had my interviews. My references called. And I interviewed with a friend's boss (a VP) who said he felt I was the better choice than the other candidate. I would actually be taking her old job, since she just transferred to a new job in the company.
The HR guy called me Friday but I thought it was my Dr reminding me of my appointment. Anyway, I emailed him and will call first thing in the morning.
I'm terrified to leave a company I've been with with just over 5 years, but excited to move forth with my career and health. I'm a quirky person, but the stress over the past 9-10 months has made some of my quirks worse.
Anyway, wish me luck.
