Thank you i'm at the laundrette right now doing my washing now and the sunshine on the walk over was pretty good. I also have left over spag bol to look forward to for dinner. Sorry for the ideation. My boss just triggered me today and it cemented for me how she has absolutely zero empathy. And i just feel very done.

I am so sick of my toxic boss. I just want to quit my job but i'm not having much luck on the job hunting front. I feel so trapped and I don't know what to do. maybe i should just off myself. honestly feels like the only way out at the moment after months of trying to find something else.
Anyone following little blurt yesterday about being headhunted for a new role that might only be one day week. I met with my former CEO today and we had a great catch up. The role is basically a consultancy at the moment, but the brand has some real traction to coming which means the consultancy will most likely lead to a proper role in the near future. The brand has a big emphasis on social impact and I think talking to my old CEO about it had awakened some long dead passion in me. I haven't felt this energised in a very long time. I told my CEO how my current employer would be a hinderance to working for him and he's agreed to try and work something out. However I'm of the mind set that I'm going to start looking for a job, probably part-time that is going to allow me to work as much as I can for this new gig and say good bye to my current toxic one.
Thank you! Hopefully I'll be able to make a positive post in thursday daily thread later :D
Yeah, it's also a role that I think might require more than one day based on what they want me to do. The brand is relatively unknown and has a great ethos but alos not making a ton of money which is what they want me to help drive. I definitely want to be part of the company, But yeah I think just seeing what he is after and then explaining my situation is the plan. My hope is i'll be able to get 2 - 3 days which will tide me over and then find another role 1 or 2 days a week. Thanks for the advice!
Feeling a bit overwhelmed. I've hated my current job for a while due to the owner of business being a pretty toxic, uncaring individual. Last week I got approached by a friend who I know through a previous job to come and work for our former Creative Director/CEO who has started his own company. At my current job, I'm a casual but work full times hours. My friend has mentioned the new role might only be one day a week. I know my current employer will not allow me to reduce my hours and stay on as the store manager. I also know that if I decide to step down but stay on as a regular casual, she will be vindictive and most likely prevent me from receiving enough hours to get by. I'm meeting my old CEO for a coffee tomorrow and I just feel really sad that this great opportunity to work with some great people will slip through my fingers and I'll be stuck at my current shitty job and that nothing good can come way.
Thank you friend! I'm sorry you are having to go through it as well :( I think getting some sun and doing some chores helped my brain reset. Things will get better, I just wish it would hurry up haha.
