Here are a things to keep in mind:
1. Doubt doesn’t make you an imposter, it makes you human.

I was made redundant last December, just after returning from maternity leave, and it was a tough time with a little one at home.
Since then, I’ve been actively applying for jobs but rarely hear back. When asked why I’m looking for a new job in interviews, I haven’t always been sincere, giving different reasons. Recently, I decided to be upfront and told an interviewer that I was made redundant. But their response thre…

I have been stressed at work due to my teammember not pulling his weight and having to do his share of the work.

Take her at her word and DO NOT user her as a reference.
Now strategize someone you will useas reference as you navigate the job market. I would've waited to reconsider the walk-off option.
Maybe there was something you could haveheard, learned from and then considered your exit strategy.

When I was managing at a previous job I had an employee show up for their shift, wait for me to get my coat on and ready to go before she looked at me and said "I'm done, I cannot finish my shift" and left me standing there after my 12hr shift just stunned. Why even bother coming in then? I had nothing to say other than "Fine, go. Thanks for nothing!" which I admit I regret saying, but wow. Be an adult and finish your work and then move on. It says a lot about people's character. Like others have said, use this as a learning experience!

Well at least you admitted to you wish you wouldn’t have say what you said to her as an employee that’s what wrong with mangers now or days they don’t understand we’re human just as well as you guys you never can un estimate that when we put in a lot of work just as in a employee to keep a high quality business running and when you’re place in a situation where you’re feeling like you’re being treated unfairly due to in experience supervisor or managers you sometimes don’t have a choice just to do the best thing to just walk away I do agree yes or coarse finish out your shift but don’t agree to get treated by micromanagers that doesn’t have any experience on how to treat good employees

Can you say all that out loud as a single sentence? Without taking a breath?
