I recently left a heavy workload Director position, which was gaining more workload, not allowing for OT in the public sector. I have worked in public sector for 10+ years.

The position I accepted, private sector, I thought would be less stress, though a heavy learning curve. Turns out, I don’t enjoy the work at all, though am still trying to learn it and there is so much to learn. The boss is passive aggressive, I am not stupid however she and this job makes me feel so dumb.

All other divisions talk to each other - and collaborate- which is nice but distracting as we are in a large wing of mid-height cubicles- (I have had an office for 10+ years).

However if I ask one of my co-workers a question or god forbid one of them says something about their pet even, boss comes out and asks what are you working on?

it has been almost 4 months, and I am more stressed now than ever - anxious, nightmares etc. I have not EVER, in my 42 years of working, quit a job without having another.

My worry is that if I do quit, I won’t be able to find a decent paying job - that doesn’t come with a bullying boss, or extreme workload.

It is making me sick to my stomach. I am not a weak person, but feeling that way now.

I do have an interview tomorrow- but have to try and make myself positive from this very negative situation- please pray for me!
