I took a job 4 months ago in a small agency. A managerial position was offered to me despite my lack of experience. I aired my concerned at interview stage about this and I was told that they knew this and wanted to help me develop and would train and support me. 4 months later, I am not being given the work that was agreed in my interview or job spec (that I received after two months of employment). I'm also not being given any support as agreed and my work load is high. Despite all of this I felt I was working through my work as well as I could and to a good standard. Then my boss (the owner of the company) started suggesting he wasn't happy with my progress. He started telling me on a daily basis that I was bad at my job and found new insults every day for me, which he delivered in a fairly professional manner and behind closed doors. He has also extended my probation (I checked and this is above board) I stuck up for myself as much as I felt appropriate but it's just not good for my motivation/ ego/ stress levels to be working in this environment with no sign of improvement. I tried talking to a senior colleague about it and they said that my boss has always been difficult to work with and provided no more assistance. It got to a point where I've not been able to go into work for the past 2 days due to anxiety. If I lose my job I lose my house and I've only just found this job after a previous redundancy (without a payout) But ignoring work isn't helping. My workload is just building up and I still face getting sacked, I feel unfairly, when I return. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, but getting a sick note wont help, I just need to find a new job (where I'm not working with this person) give my notice and leave, but this is easier said than done. And not really what I wanted. Any advice?
