I don't even know where to start. My current place of employment has slowly, but surely, lost the plot over the past year or so. It's got to the point where I'm worried for my job and not even sure if I'll be paid on time this month. It'd be impossible for me to list all of the crazy things about my workplace without writing a book, but here's a snippet:
- I've never worked for a company that's so deceitful and immoral in my life. I've been asked to steal T&Cs off a competitors website, advertise false information (like inclusions that aren't actually included with the product, incorrect pricing etc.), write fake Google reviews... the list goes on. I know a bit of dishonesty happens in every company and I'm not totally naive, but everyday is another catalog of lies and deceit that eventually comes back to bite us
- My boss is a bully and completely insane. She's bullied 4 people out of our small team in less than a year and another ran for the hills within weeks. For some reason, she has a soft spot for 4 of us and spares us the bullying, but we've had to witness it throughout this time. She's a compulsive liar, highly competitive and oddly focused on hierarchy's (she's asked me to treat the receptionist differently before as she's "just a receptionist and you're her senior"). She goes along with ridiculous ideas without ever thinking them through (basically what the entire company does) and then wonders why these ideas never work out. She tried to launch a social media competition with no prizes, panicked and then raided the stock cupboard for AWFUL prizes such as branded umbrellas and cheap plastic plants. She says awful things about other people in the business for silly reasons like she doesn't like their accent or they're too 'common' for her. Nothing about her inspires me and she's supposed to be my manager. She also once openly asked me if I'm infertile in front of a room full of colleagues due to a recent condition I'd been diagnosed with
- There is no strategy for our team or anywhere throughout the business it seems. We have no goals or direction for 2019. I'm SO bored at work that it hurts and I feel completely demotivated and like nothing I do is worth it. I'm given unusual tasks that are nothing to do with my job role and don't teach me anything
- Clients, suppliers and investors have been calling and emailing demanding to speak to certain people in the business about where their money is. It's evidently clear that we have a serious financial problem. The cleaners stopped coming in for a little while due to not being paid and we were emailed asking to chip in more than usual. Some suppliers haven't been paid for 6 months+. I've had angry investors on the phone shouting at me when there's nothing I can do. It's likely we won't be paid this month on time too...
Basically, it's clear that there's a pretty sizeable chance the business is going to go under or people are going to lose their jobs. I don't think it'll be anyone in our team, but there's talks of a whole chunk of the business being axed. My teammate had his notice period extended to 3 months and given a pay rise to 'force' him to stay. I'm terrified this is going to happen to me, as my job makes me sick and I can't even bare the thought of a month's notice period let alone 3.
I know what I need to do. I need to find another job and get out in the new year, fast. However, I don't just want to jump into any old job and end up potentially being unhappy. I want to make sure it's the right job, after the experience I've had at this place. The job is quite niche too (the line of work that I'm in), so it may be a few months before I find the right fit. My question is... how do I stay sane? My physical health is suffering, I'm eating terribly and I have no creative energy to pursue what I love after work. My brain feels drained, like a sieve.
Sorry if this sounds overly negative and ranty... I've just had enough. It'd be really helpful to hear from others who've been in a similar position. I'd really appreciate it... thanks so much
