This is not a question or input required for a work issue...I have been working in a small office for 2 and half years, only 5 of us in there.

Well last week I sent the property manager an email letting her tho that she had made it quite clear during the week that she was clearly not happy with me,I asked her to talk to me and basically lets get it on the table and deal with it and move on.

There was although there was an issue during the week which she decided not to talk to me about, I had make a mistake which I was happy to take ownership of and take full responsiblity and speak to all parties concerned .She talked, or bossed the boss around I should say,into fixing it up financially.Again I had offered to pay for.The boss said no and give me back the money.He was ok with it.

So back to the email she responded, telling me exactly what she thought of me personally.I was shattered when I read it,she said she has said all she wanted to say and wouldnt talk to me only on a professional level if she had too.

I have quit the job as Ifelt to uncomfortable to go into work,she always highlites my mistakes and never gives any good feedback.

Should have I left,I know you aren't suppose to take things personally but this was written personally to me??

I think it was very wrong and very improfessional of that lady to attack you personally. You could take it further if you wanted. Do you have apprasils?you obviously are competent at your job as you have been there a while, maybe there's a case there for unfair conduct? She deffinatly shouldn't of made it personal. I would take greivence procedure aginst her xxx

DrPsych agony auntThis just wasn't the job for you! Lots of people suffer for years in the wrong job, working for the wrong people and ending up miserable and depressed. I have walked out of jobs in the past because of people I didn't get along with without regret. She shouldn't have made personal remarks about you. In doing so she showed how she is incapable of keeping emotions out of her professional life. She would have made life difficult. Everyone makes mistakes but it is easy for other people to criticise without being constructive about it. She sounds like a rubbish manager so walk away with your head held high.
