For 3 months i had a saturday job, to try sort my self out. The last 2 times i have been in one supervisor has been bullying me (i also dont enjoy the job).. I now no longer want to go in as i fear i will either hit her or break down in front of everyone in the store.

Am i right to want to leave? i dont want to be around this person

It's entirely your choice whether you stay or leave. Unless you have no choice. If you don't like the job or a supervisor why stay somewhere you are miserable? x

Im not aware if she knows about my mental health (not that she should be bullying anyway) so i think its best if i did leave the situation

What do you want to do? You have my permission to quit and I would make sure management knows why. At some point though you are going to have to face up to the bullies of the world.

Im definitly going to tell management, i've been having a hard time with my depression recently and dont want people like her effecting it. Would like to be in a friendly work environment so i can get better (before this i hadnt been back to work for 7 years)

I wouldn't say anything if you want a good reference! x

I used to work in HR. They aren't allowed to give a bad reference! Mad isn't it, especially if someone is an awful employee.

You have your own decisions to make, if you do not enjoy the job move on, or if you feel talking to your Supervisors Manager explaining what is happening do it.

We do not know how the bullying is presenting itself, however the person is sailing close to the wind and that needs to be addressed.

Again I say if the work is part time is it really worth the effort. You could look for a replacement job, then when you find one resign and start elsewhere. Hopefully with a more understanding management

I just went through something similar. I was going to try to wait until I found a new job but it came to the point where it isn’t worth it. Your health - physical and mental is more important than a job. If you can, you can speak to her superior and professionally explain your position. From HR perspective they want people to first address the person directly who is giving problems, then their supervisor if that didn’t work and so on up the chain. But realistically that isn’t always feasible. As for a good reference by law people can only say if you worked there, for how long, and if they would hire you again. I don’t think it would hurt your prospects of finding a new job especially if someone else there such as a coworker could supply a reference. Good luck!

Try finding another job first but i will say that u need to stand up to her or you will always be runing every time you experience this kind of person shes a bully and therefore weak she needs a victim to make her feel powerful im talking from experience and as a result i do speak up but i do understand how hard it is so i wish the best of luck
