Good afternoon
This week, I've had one of the worst weeks in a while. To go back what has happened this week, there is a lady that works for us, she is a training co-ordinator and I'm a receptionist. I'm not sure why, but this lady feels the need to talk to me like I'm beneath her. I've not done anything wrong to this lady, I've respected her and do as she says, fair enough I make my mistakes which probably annoy her but I don't feel like it's necessary to talk to me like a child.
This behaviour of hers, has been happening for a few months now. She's nice to me but when some thing bugs her or "I'm not doing my job right" she will ensure to let me know how disappointed she is with me.
After she spoke to me in quite a bitchy tone, I went down stairs to my office but I had a massive panic attack. I was crying and upset, I was just trying to do my job and this women shuts me down. I mustered up every courage I could, to go to my bosses office and inform him of the way she speaks to me and treats me.
Then the worst topic, of all...came up.
The industry that I work in, a training company that delivers qualifications, gets a portion of government funding to deliver subsidised training to those in NSW. Apparently, the company won't be getting as much money to deliver courses to our regional area and there fore my boss has had to make a "regrettable" decision to retrench me.
I'm in a state of shock and anger because - even though my boss said it had affected 2 others apart from me, in the workplace - the other two "retrenched" workers, will do odd jobs around the place for him. Now, on top of everything else, I feel like my boss is lying to me - because even though he says his decision was incredibly hard, I feel like it wasn't.
Over the course of 4 months of what's happened to me at work:
- My boss hired a new woman to work with us to take some load of my shoulders as I was taking a lot of tasks and responsibilities on my own and doing things that I wasn't qualified for
-Slowly, but surely some of those responsibilities were taken off me, however more and more skills and responsibilities were fading from me...the training coordinator was taking everything on; leaving me with not much to do.
- My boss during this time was a little stand off-ish towards me and not talking to me much...avoiding me...not introducing me to clients that walked into our business.
I'm feeling lost and upset because I need this job. I don't know how to accept what's happened 😞
