I recently had a bad experience with my boss last month. I came back from break, and she asked me to follow her to her desk. I was immediately yelled at for coming back to the department for 35 minutes. I have a hard time taking my two fifteen minute breaks because the work load seems to never stop. Also, the department does not have enough employees for the workload. As a result, I combine the two breaks together because the workload decreases. However, my job has a policy that they have to taken separately. Yet, some other supervisors do allow their employees to do what I did. I was spoken about this in September, and she said she would help me figure out how to do it the right way. In the end, she never did help what said she would do.
Since I was doing this for a couple of months, she notified our HR department. I had to wait for the HR director come back from vacation before they do a disciplinary meeting with me. After she scolded me for another five minutes, I left her desk very scared as if she slapped me across the face. Once I finished my work day, I went to get my belongings and I started to cry.
My boss and I never got along well, but she never seemed to be this abusive to me before. When I returned the next day, I was still traumatized by what happened and I did not want to be there anymore. I was never really happy with my job, and my boss was never there for me.
When I finally had the disciplinary meeting with HR last Monday, the meeting did not go well. My boss had so much documentation of every little infraction I did at the workplace that there was no hope I would keep my job. I was put on suspension until I hear back from the HR director, and the following afternoon I was told I was no longer an employee with the company because I did time clock fraud.
As a result, I have been feeling all this anxiety of what I went through. I keep reliving the events, and I feel scared all the time. My father was very abusive to me when I was growing up, and that abuse still affects me to this very day. I was diagnosed with PTSD from what I suffered by my therapist, and those events with my ex-supervisor still scare me. I do hope when I find a better job that my anxiety will go away, but I know that it takes time before I feel comfortable with my life again. I also hope that my new job will have better management than I had with my old job. I do realize that my ex-boss can no longer hurt me anymore.
Is there anything that I can do to make self feel better again?
