hi i've been in a pretty tough situation lately, had to resign from my
apprenticeship this week due to a combination of things. i was almost in
my 2nd year as a fitter. i wasn't meeting the training requirements of
my trade since my employer didn't have the resources in place to train
me and i was always getting put on adhoc tasks which i never done before
and had no idea what to do a lot of the time, i felt like i was being
held back by my co workers and wasn't allowed to do many things even
though i had 6 years experience as a trade assistant prior to this job.
But I think the biggest things was that i was bullied and belittled by
one of my co workers and he was like that ever since i started. i first
complained to my manager 6 months ago since he was doing things that
were against company policy, we had a meeting we shook hands and i
thought we could move on. the manager asked us to communicate more,
which after that i kept making an effort to have a conversation with him
but he didn't want to. 3 months later, behind closed doors, he was
belittling me and treating me as if i were a child, while almost yelling
at me when i was doing a task. I knew something wasn't right because to
everyone else who worked there he'd say hello to them every morning but
he'd never say hi or talk to me. i brought this up with hr, they
listened to my complaint, they then talked to him the next day. the day
after that they took his side as obviously he was concealing the real
truth and pretty told me to put up with it and take direction. i wasn't
happy with the outcome so i spoke to one or two of the office staff in
private and they said he has been abusive to them at times and done
things that were against company policy. fast foward to early this week,
i walk in the canteen at 5:50am in the morning and again, he didn't say
hello or talk to me (even though i shook hands with him a few days
earlier). at 6am work started we had our morning meeting, he then
started belittling me again calling me "the apprentice", it's like he
thinks he's above me. i thought ok, i'll let it slide, but i was then
sent to dig holes all day by the manager and it was eating away at me
since i felt really depressed working here. i then resigned later that
morning because after 10 months, i couldn't tolerate it anymore. i was
sleepless later that night and it's only this morning i'm starting to
get over it, thinking about that guy makes me upset and he's the main
reason i resigned.
How do I talk to my doctor?
