I have a lot of anxiety and some of it is made worse by my job because i work for such toxic arrogant managers and the top boss is also arrogant and some of my coworkers. Put it this way I was verbally abused by a guy I work with and when I spoke to the manager he blamed it all on me and it really upset me and it happened a few months ago. Then there is one of the managers who is always picking on me for such petty things and I told one of my bosses who’s over him and then on that day I walked in the office and they quickly changed the subject so it was obvious they were talking about me in a negative manner and since then I thought maybe this bullying was going to stop but then on Friday this same bully manager picked on me about my high vis saying it’s on incorrectly. I didn’t need to be wearing it because I was going upstairs and you only need to wear it on the shop floor has there are folk lifts and it’s dangerous but in other areas it’s not needed. I can’t speak about it to anyone because there isn’t anyone because they are all horrible and very unhelpful and unprofessional and extremely untrustworthy. Anything you tell one of them in confidence gets blabbed about and then your life is made hell. H.r. t aren’t trustworthy either and nothing stays private. I’m off til Tuesday but I dread going back as I’m miserable there and the job is causing problems for my body especially my back and anxiety and I feel very paranoid and isolated. There’s isn’t many good people in my job and me as an honest kind hearted person finds this extremely difficult indeed.
Thankyou in advance

This sounds like a horrible environment to be in. Sounds to me like you might need to try and find a new job, if you can? In the meantime, try to keep your head down and get on with the job. If talking to the managers doesn't achieve anything, then I wouldn't bother. That's not to say I think what they're doing is right, they're not, at all but trying to sort out these issues is causing you alot of stress. Are you able to separate your work and home life? You owe them nothing, do your job whilst you're there and then try to forget about it once you're home.
You're a good person trying to do the right thing but these people aren't worth your stress and worry. How they are behaving is no reflection on you.
I would try to look for a new job, but don't give up the present one until you find another. This does not sound like a nice place. So much time is spent at work that it makes a huge difference to work with people most of whom are nice and who appreciate you. I agree with the rest of the suggestions EleanorRose gave you.
Move on, Pam, if you stay it's to the detriment of your mental health. Nothing is going to change in your job. Why let these toxic characters make you suffer.
Oh yes you will, you WILL get a better job if you look for one, you are clearly an intelligent worker. Hope you find a better job working with nicer people before long.
