4kg of parsnips!!! Tea of all home grown veg. Your garden is doing well.

Well done on the job applications. I am delighted you are going for it. Cheering you on from here....

Thanks SH, it was definitely a monster merged parsnip!

I'm currently trying to talk myself out of resigning and lodging a grievance, knowing I could make my savings last 5 months. I've not been this angry in a while 😶😶😡😶😶

Argh.

I would stick it out. Perhaps give back the extra duties and forgo the payrise.... Keep applying for other jobs. You never know whether you will meet the same people in a future job. I have

Can't do any of that SH, it's too late.
I've upped my game to get a new job urgently!

So I'm assuming you've finally told them where to shove it, at least I'm hoping you have.

I can't imagine how you wouldn't win a grievance complaint, so keep your chin up. It won't take you long to find another job.   (((hugs))) XX

Stick it out if you can for a decent reference. Can understand you wanting to tell them where to stick it!

Thanks Chrystal and Skinty, sadly I've not yet quit ☹️ Trying to hang on but it's become increasingly hard. 
I'm planning my second email, just in case I'm asked why when the time comes, and will list off every single thing that's happened since the day I started. Not as if it will make a difference.

I will get a different job, in a company I'm valued and appreciated 😃

Stay strong, it is endemic in some of these places and you are totally right to be looking for another job. We know this job is impossible so just do what you can in a day and what cant be done stays for another day, or a week, or a month. Try not to think ahead about this job and focus your energy on looking for another job and nice things like Tombo and gardening and your lovely house and family.

Thanks SW

It's draining the life out of me, not just because I've health issues and the weather has turned, but the work. I have given it a good go since starting here and even moreso for more than the last year. I desperately tried to find positives, clung on thinking of the experience and money, however it's just not working for me and I can't stand it. 

The only thing keeping me strong is looking forward resigning 🤣

Good luck with the job search. I'm sure you all get something soon. somewhere you are appreciated as a person and the appreciation is reflected in your salary.

Have a good day
