I have had a terrible time!

I have resigned from my job as I have been victimized for 2 years after notifying my manager of sexual harrassment.

And it just became too much for me! They were victimizing me about my timekeeping which was not my fault as I travel to Fourways from the East Rand and the traffic is impossible. And for petty times like 10 or 15 minutes late. I tried my best!

They moved premises and I had a verbal agreement to work in flexy time but when the victimization started I was told it was never documented so what proof did i have.
I am now worried as I am currently looking for a job and I hope I find something else soon! The only thing I am worried about is Medical Aid as I have 2 small children and they get sick alot!

I never realised how much pressure they were putting on me until I resigned but they are still giving me a hard time as I am working in my months notice. I am fed up and stressed.

Plus I am no longer allowed to perform any of my normal duties and I am basically sitting doing nothing all day! This is going to be a long month.

The working conditions were just so intolerable I just had to resign.

I have also lost my Grandparents over a very stressful period of 3 months my Granny passed away on the 2nd July and as soon as I came back from leave I was attacked I just cant take it anymore! I am Angry as I was a very hard worker , I was also very loyal , always did what was required of me if not more. I am so tired,

Plus now it seems as though I am going to have trouble going for interviews what do I do? I need my months salary before I go! I am finished! I just feel sick to my stomach and I hate sitting here! I thought the culprit would be happy that they were finally rid of me but it doesnt seem the case!

Like a bullterrier once they sink their jaws into you they dont let go! I just dont know how to survive the next few weeks.

Sorry Caz, the previous comment got there by accident, and now I can't delete it.

What a horrible job that was: sexual harassment, victimization, and so far to drive!

No, the culprit won't be happy: people like that are never happy.

I'm proud of you for quitting. It must be very scary, a step into the dark with no job lined up, but it's a step towards your freedom. I think your next employer will be very happy to have you!

The next few weeks are going to be hard, but you'll survive it.
