Well the time has come to leave work oh! joy, no job again and nothing lined up.

[Yasmin74]

Well the time has come to leave my job on Friday, I have not got any job to go to and feel like a faliure. Even though I am proud of myself for doing everything and more that they have thrown at me over the last year, but I just feel let down by my bosses who have directly targeted me because I am different and not just because of my dyslexia but other problems I have to deal with,

I have not received any recognition for everything I have done, from my bosses but have from other members of the team who do actually appreciate everything I have done and do for them. Today I had to train somone up to do the tasks I do, even then my bosses were watching us like a hawk and are even starting to target the person I trained up for different reasons which is not right.

I am sick of learning everything, then only to have to train people up and I'm the one that is got rid of. I am not a bad person, and in fact am a very hard working member of the team and put 100% and more into everything I do which in some cases in various jobs I've had including this one is not enough.

Well I hope I get something better, and will have bosses that treat me properly and not badly or just like my bosses now out for everything they can get and then get rid of me.

At least you can leave with your head held high and have remained professional. I wish you all the best for your job hunting.

Thank you Dysllexia-tutor, I know I have remained professional and can leave with my head held high. It just annoys me how they can do this to one of their hardest working members of the team, and they will realise just what I have done. Even with dyslexia and other difficulties, I have done everything and more they have wanted and more that delivered where a "normal" person would have failed.

Hello Yasmin,

First of all I am so sorry to hear of your news. As soon as I finished reading, I felt I had to write to you. I too, suffered from the same thing with my boss bullying me because of my Dyslexia, I was demoted from my job and had no other choice but to hand in my notice.

Because of this situation I have started to research dyslexia further and I have been amazed at the amount dyslexia is focused on children, which is fantastic, but what about young people and adults?

What I am trying to do is to turn my horrible situation I had at work and turn it in to a positive one. It makes my blood boil to hear of stories like yours, dyslexia isn't a new thing and my goddess we are all equal.

I am due to attend a talk with The Princes Trust this Tuesday in Hove to explain a business idea I have, to help people like yourself.

It seems horrible now and after a lot of tears "of why me" and "what did I do?" I still feel worried, but Yasmin please don't let the people at your former work change you, because your the one who is the bigger person for leaving, you listened to yourself and that is worth more than anything else.

My sister, gave my some great advice whilst I was having a big old cry and it was "Sometimes on the way to the dream, you get lost and find a better one".

I hope you do, and if you ever need someone to chat with, I'm here.

Thank you Chloe, for the response to my blog it means a lot that other people who have been in the same situation have gone through what I have and can understand exactly how I feel.

I held it together while in the pressence of my team, but did cry while talking to a colleague on another team before all my team got into work on friday.

I hope your meeting with the Princes Trust goes well, and you can help other fellow dyslexia and other forms of it to feel better about themselves, and to find ways of coping or overcoming issues they have.

Take care! and thank you again for caring and taking the time to comment on my blog.
