    Hun no job is worth that kind of stress, its not healthy. You will find another job but the world can't find another you.

    Well done on leaving! I'm sure the temp agency will find you something else and it's not that employer that gives the reference, it's the agency. So the agency will see that you have good reasons for leaving and it was the fault of the employer because you did a fantastic job, so that will be the reference.

    Also, it is more unprofessional to refuse training when requested and give wrong information than it is to quit because of those problems.

    Oh wow! That sounds really stressful. I think it is for the best that you left and completely understandable. Like mrsmac said;

    Take care of yourself xo

    Thanks ladies It's nice to know that someone 'outside' thinks I've done the right thing! Now I've just gotta convince myself

    I just told DH about your comments, and how comforting they are - and he goes 'That's what I've been saying all day!!' LOL

    Oh well, back to being a domestic goddess I think, hopefully I'm better at that!

    The agency will want to know how crap the company is before sending anyone else there too. It's hard to find and keep good people, and sending them to silly stressful jobs won't do anyone good.

    You'll find something else and the money you brought in has still helped hasn't it?

    I was out of work before for 12 weeks, so the money I've brought in has gotten us back on top, literally just this week! But I'm also back doing a party plan, so I'll be able to put in extra time with that, to get more out of it. I'm a lot more positive (sane?) today than I was yesterday, so that's gotta help!

    pixie, that's horrible!

    babe, some workplaces are just toxic and nothing you can do will change that. You can only save yourself. I worked in a toxic office for 2 years and the person who was my boss when I started ended up committing suicide. You've done the right thing, you need to take care of yourself.
