Dearest Aunts and Uncles,

I would love to have some advice and any ways of coping or what to do please.

To give you some background I work in the media and last year was at what I thought was the most amazing job, I was there four years and LOVED it, the people, the work - I worked my up to high senior level etc. Then out of the blue (and I mean that as 1 month before I had a review where I was praised and given a $40k pay rise) out of the blue I was called into a disciplinary and as a result I decided to leave two weeks letter, it was all made up and they paid me off with three months pay.

I then went to Australia and lived there for three months and relaxed and loved it. I am 37, and have a lovely partner and he let me go there and recoup,it had been a tough year as my mum had died suddenly and was not in a great place, then the work thing.

I came back, started a job and it was awful, the boss was having affair with the other boss, she had a real drink problem, was rude and insulting as a result after a month I left (since found out she has been fired from company) I then started where I am now, fast forward three months and I am having really bad anxiety. It's a small company very similar to my first and I have gone in at a very high level, I feel stressed worried and out of mt depth, they have a high turnover and I have decided not for me, however I have just put an offer on an apartment to buy in summer (long exchange date) and I need to stay in employment for this. Soon as I had the keys I would be out, but I don't know if can do it

The other senior team, 3 of them dislike me and have made it clear they all go out together and treat me or talk to me like I am stupid, so does my boss. I am a 6 month probation and have a review coming up and to date had no feedback just a lot of let's chat when I do something (as if not good enough) My boss keeps pointing out things aren't good enough but it's more the fact the why the other senior members talk to me. really is like I am thick and I have heard they don't think I am good enough.

What do I do, I have to stay till property goes through which is 6 months, if can last that long, any advice much appreciated as I fear my anxiety is making it worse, causing me to make mistakes.

Thank you xx

A lot of times it's hard when starting a new job. You're an experienced person. All you can ever do is do your best and do what you think is right in every situation. And then go home every day and say you did your best and get a good night's sleep. If your best is not good enough for them then let them tell you, and move on if that is the way it has to be.

Hi I am glad you ask what to do on this kind of experience on what to do since you are working with some people who don't treat you very well at your job. The first year is always good.

Will you keep on working the job in Australia when you move there for a year? You need to talk to your boss and your employees that you don't like how they talk trest you like you're stupid you are not stupid st all.

You are a very smart woman. They all need to take you very serious.
