Been there too - 3 of us were going to 'walk' and I was the 1 who did - the other 2 remained in post and tried to remain friends with me  - both had 'good' excuses not to go - it made me ill.

Take that 2 weeks off and consider  - can't add anything to the reference situation that hasn't been explained.

I've been in a similar situation and eventually did walk out one day - even though financially it was a disaster, it was making me so ill I couldn't cope any longer.  I was unemployed for 6 months afterwards.  As you say the reference situation makes it difficult.  In the end after I had left I went back to speak to HR about the way I was treated - there was no resolution as such, but it made me feel 100% better about the situation, and eventually I got another job and have been fine since.  I would never recommend anyone to walk out having said that - my self esteem took an awful long time to heal - but sometimes you just have to get out of a nasty situation if its affecting your health

It's better to  than stick in an awkward Job ……….. the sense of relieve is wonderful.  Trying to get resolution made me ill and almost cost me my marriage  ……….

I have started looking every evening for anything suitable and have applied for 3 jobs this week. I have to just be patient I guess. I think someone had mention to her about how angry and insulted I was last week and maybe said she should apologise to me her response yesterday was to say "what I said came out wrong, I didn't mean it like that" and that was as good as an apology as I was going to get. My husband said I should have said "are you apologising?" But to be honest I don't care I just want to go and forget about the whole horrible episode. I plan to shut up do my job and get out asap. Thanks for the support

That's a kind of apology.  Probably not brought up to say 'sorry' easily.

Hello ladies, thought I would give you an update on my situation. Been for one interview but withdrew my application 2 days later, it just wasn't for me. At the moment I am very busy so just getting on with things, only speak to my boss if I absolutely have to. I know this is not ideal but feel this is the only way I can maintain my sanity and be relatively happy at work. I try not too feel pressured if she keeps dumping stuff on me to do I just put it on the pile and get around to it when I can. But of course it is early days as I had 2 weeks of and this is my first week back. Thanks again for listening

Glad you are taking care of you! ........
